Healthy Howard

(Community Matters) At breakfast this morning my friend Ken Ulman talked about Healthy Howard, “a community-supported health plan for uninsured residents of Howard County, the only place in the country with a plan like this.

For as little as $50 a month, you will have access to a variety of health services including doctor visits and Emergency Room treatment, low-cost or free prescription medicine, and a personal health coach to help you achieve your goals. If you want to be healthy and stay healthy and traditional insurance is not an option, this plan has your name on it. You just have to qualify.”

This is an innovative, highly-efficient, extraordinarily cost effective nonprofit healthcare plan created by Ken (chief executive of Howard County) and his staff. We need more of this public innovation.

Ken’s running for governor of Maryland. He’s also the brother of one of my best friends, Doug Ulman, pres/ceo LIVESTRONG
