The Dirigo Health Plan is intended to make quality, affordable health
care available to every Maine citizen and initiate new processes for
cost containment and quality improvement. The Maine Hospital Association
supports efforts to expand coverage through Dirigo Health.
In addition, the association wants to:
- Educate about true drivers of health care costs & insurance
premiums
- Preserve rational access to health care services
- Ensure current & future investments in health care quality
- Provide leadership in shaping public access to cost & quality
information while avoiding unnecessary state-level data collection
