State Planning Grant Business Task Force

Focus and Goals

The SPG Business Taskforce exists to ensure that the business community has representation in state planning activities, and to provide a mechanism to provide information back to business representatives on the activities of the project. The primary goals of the SPG Business Task Force are:

  1. Provide input on plans for the 2nd Annual Governor's Conference on Covering the Uninsured.

  2. Facilitate input from employers statewide about the feasibility of potential coverage expansion options.

  3. Assist with appropriate and effective information dissemination strategies to the business community.

  4. Facilitate successful market tests of recommended coverage expansion options with the business community and inform implementation plan development.
