ABOUT US
Consumer Advocates: Project Healthcare - Project Healthcare is a shared project of several Wyoming advocacy organizations concerned with monitoring the impact of health reform on Wyoming consumers.
Mission - Consumer Advocates: Project Healthcare will promote a pro-consumer healthcare system.
Vision - Wyoming consumers will join the discussion to make the healthcare system more transparent and publicly accountable.
Healthcare reform is intended to provide consumers with extensive protections and more control over their healthcare. We will help to ensure that Wyoming consumers have access to information they need to participate in the healthcare system as it evolves and access to information that allows them to evaluate the effectiveness of reforms as they are implemented at the state level. Successful reforms should clearly benefit consumers and not just the bottom lines of providers and insurance companies.
