Establishes the "Missouri Universal Health Assurance Program" to provide a publicly financed, statewide insurance program for all residents of the state

HB 3255 creates Missouri's "Universal Health Assurance Program," a statewide public insurance system providing comprehensive health, mental health, and dental care - including preventive screenings - to all state residents. The program establishes a board of governors (with diverse representation) and six regional advisory councils to develop health plans, set fees, and manage the Missouri Health Care Trust Fund. Key provisions include requiring uniform payments, streamlined administration through a single public insurer, and annual reporting to state leaders on program operations and policy recommendations. The bill aims to improve timely access to quality care, ensure adequate funding, and reduce overall health care spending.
