Program Description
With health reform on its way down the pipeline, millions of Americans and thousands of Georgians will possibly for the first time in their lives, be covered by health insurance; but this change will take time and there are still many who will go and remain uninsured. Safety Net providers offer health care services to the uninsured and underserved when they have no where to turn. During this webcast, three leaders of Georgia's health safety net will outline the current conditions, needs, issues and challenges of the safety net and the opportunities presented under health reform.
