Legislative Priorities
MACHP works to strengthen public policy related to Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) from the county-based perspective. CBP plans are fundamentally different from other managed care organizations. They represent a distinct; county-based; locally owned, operated, and governed model serving MHCP enrollees across Minnesota. A bipartisan coalition of Minnesota legislators enacted Minnesota's landmark CBP laws in 1997 (See: Minnesota Statutes 256B.69, 256B.692, 256B.694)
- Maintain and strengthen legislative support for CBP plans and Minnesota's CBP model
- Advocate for administrative reforms supporting and collaborating with CBP per Minnesota law
- Support local control and self-determination for counties in electing and utilizing CBP
- Update and strengthen Minnesota laws concerning CBP
- Clarify and strengthen federal laws and regulations in support of Minnesota's CBP model
- Educate public policy makers and regulatory officials about the importance and unique benefits of CBP
