About This Effort

Cover Missouri is a project of the Missouri Foundation for Health to develop, publish, and promote specific policy recommendations to increase the number of Missourians with health coverage.

The policy options will incorporate community input, previous Foundation research, and economic analysis by state and national experts. Through a series of publications, Cover Missouri will put forth a set of cost-effective, feasible policy options for community members and policymakers to consider.

We are seeking input from a variety of stakeholders across the state to provide comments, suggestions, and/or confirmation of policy options based on community experience. Please contact us with your opinion.
