In 2013, Missouri Foundation for Health created the Expanding Coverage Initiative with the goal of reducing the uninsured rate among Missourians under the age of 65 to less than five percent in five years.
This report describes the external evaluation findings of this initiative for the time period of September 1, 2015 to July 31, 2016. The report begins with an overview of Missouri’s health insurance environment, followed by a subsequent section for each of the external evaluation focus areas, and concludes with a summary of the findings and key takeaways.
