One solution commonly discussed as a partial solution to the healthcare issues in this country is primary care for everyone, regardless of age, race, income, geography, insurance coverage, etc. The Neighborhood Nursing program being piloted in Baltimore is attempting to address the current gaps on that front and shift from treatment to prevention. Today, only 5% of healthcare spending goes towards primary care. While we expect primary care to cost less, more focus on primary care should decrease overall healthcare spending.

It’s not quite as simple as cutting out the middleman; rather, it’s about removing intermediaries who aren’t necessarily bringing value to the equation (SEE ALSO: your traditionally designed health plan, which is often built both by and FOR an insurer’s benefit rather than yours). There are better ways…

Here it is. When we started this business and partnered with MVP to launch our vision of enabling high-performing Medicare products, we believed we had a winning formula to help community-based, not-for-profit health plans to compete. Two years later, I could not have in retrospect envisioned a better partner, and the fruits of partnership which are built on shared values of trust, patience, and a vision the most vulnerable members in communities served by MVP. Collaborations with community-based plans can uplift entire communities. Our partnership with MVP Health Care is living proof exemplifies this ethos, showcasing how, together, we can drive positive change. This Case Study shows how such collaborations can make healthcare more accessible, inclusive, and innovative for everyone. In the journey of healthcare transformation, each collaboration is a step towards a brighter, healthier future. I am so proud of the incredible teams at MVP and Belong for their dedication to creating positive impact and fostering innovation. #BelongHealth #MVPHealthCare

Aides had sought to quell fears that millions more people would become uninsured when the pandemic-era pause on eligibility checks ended April 1, pledging the Obamacare insurance marketplaces would serve as a lifeline for those losing their health coverage. But, as Amy found, the Affordable Care Act’s exchanges are so far playing a surprisingly small role as a backstop for the roughly 2 million people who have lost their Medicaid coverage because they’re no longer eligible. In a few states, the administration’s prediction of a smooth transition has borne out — but that’s not so in many other parts of the country. So far, roughly 7.7 million have been kicked off the safety net program since the forced hiatus ended. States essentially couldn’t cut people from the program for three years during the pandemic, causing enrollment to spike by 23.3 million people.
