Key Findings:

  • Options for expanded coverage to Louisiana’s labor force include an employer mandate, purchasing pools and health savings accounts.
  • Options for expanded coverage to individuals include expansion of current Medicaid programs, health savings accounts and individual mandates.
  • Each option can be initially explored for Hurricane survivors but are likely to be more successful if implemented statewide.
