Summary of the Introduced Bill

HB 384 -- Health Care

Co-Sponsors:  Johnson (61), Riback Wilson (25), Ladd Baker,
Gambaro, Bray, Boucher, Johnson (90)

This bill removes language prohibiting the use of general
revenue funds for certain health care programs and initiatives.
The bill allows any other funds to be used for these health care
programs and initiatives.

The bill also requires the Director of the Department of Health
to include dentists in the development and implementation of a
plan to provide a system of coordinated health care services
accessible to all persons in rural and urban areas of Missouri,
particularly areas designated as health resource shortage
areas.  Currently, dentists are not included in the plan to
attract health care practitioners to these areas.
