| Sec. 1. Commission created; charged. Resolved: That the Health Care |
| Reform Commission, referred to in this resolve as the |
| "commission," is established to make recommendations concerning |
| health care reform in the State. The commission shall develop a |
| statewide health care reform process to facilitate the |
| comprehensive and systematic evolution of our health care |
| delivery and financing structure into a cost-effective and |
| affordable program that increases access to health care services |
| for the State's citizens within the State's financial abilities. |
| This process must permit the State to develop its health care |
| reform within the framework of any potential federal reform |
| legislation while retaining those elements of the current state |
| health care delivery and financing structure that are still |
| appropriate in the new system. |
