Delisi Opposes Health Care For the Elderly
Dianne (smooches, darling) Delisi’s efforts on health care is effectively eliminating the STAR+PLUS Program. What is STAR+PLUS?
A blogger explained it,
STAR+PLUS is currently a pilot program in Houston that integrates acute and long-term care services for aged and disabled Medicaid recipients using a managed care model. The state agency in charge of Medicaid, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), had planned to expand STAR+PLUS to the other urban areas of the state. STAR+PLUS has demonstrated positive outcomes of care, has generated savings for the state, and is a leading model nationally for integrating care for this particularly vulnerable and expensive population.
