Delaware rolls out health care reform

Delaware is plagued with numerous health care issues. There are shortages of psychiatrists and dentists, and the general health of the state's population is less than stellar, ranking 32nd in the nation, according to the United Health Foundation. But one of the most urgent problems, experts say, is the cost to the state for providing care. Doctors, hospital officials, insurance companies, patient advocates and policy analysts are now working to change Delaware's costly and very sickly path. Part of the effort includes revamping how physicians get paid for diagnosing and treating patients, increasing behavioral health resources, recruiting more medical professionals and creating 10 "healthy neighborhoods" to support health outreach already being done in the community.
