We are celebrating two major health care accomplishments. First, critical funding for the Special Session's Medicaid expansion that is set to begin on July 1 was left intact.  Second, the Kids First Act (HB1391) was passed. This legislation helps start Maryland on the road to universal health care coverage for our children. There are 90,000 Maryland children who are already eligible for public health insurance, and HB 1391 will help ensure that they are able to access this coverage.

UULM-MD is working with the Maryland Citizens' Health Initiative to determine the most effective next steps in the effort to expand health care to include all Marylanders. Click here to get more information from the Maryland Citizens’ Health Initiative.
