This presentation was given by Director Dr. Lynn Blewett to the Minnesota Medical Association. It provides an overview of the term "single payer" as well as examples of single payer health care systems from around the world.
The purpose of this paper is to help states develop or refine a multi-payer primary care investment strategy. It presents a range of options for advancing and measuring investments in state-based primary care systems, with an emphasis on enhancing the engagement of commercial payers and aligning public and private payment and care delivery models. This paper begins by exploring the levers states can use to advance multi-payer primary care programs and policies. It then highlights the policy approaches some states have used to stimulate multi-payer investment in primary care, via revenue enhancement strategies and practice supports. The paper concludes with a review of metrics that could be used to monitor the impacts of primary care investment policies and track primary care system performance.

This chartbook summarizes the findings of the 2012 Minnesota Comprehensive Health Association (MCHA) Enrollee Survey based on demographics; health characteristics; access and utilization of health coverage; experience with MCHA; topics in health reform; and potential outreach avenues for program administrators.
The charts in this report are designed to provide snapshots first of the overall MCHA population and then by more specific subpopulations such as income level, geographic residence, and plan deductible.
The figures in this report were created to present a more complete picture of the characteristics of the MCHA population and to aid program administrators in outreach efforts as enrollees transition from MCHA and into other insurance vehicles.
