These are good intentions but they seem to be using one-time money that will end – unless I don’t understand.
using one-time money for things that require recurring funding are problematical. They “feel good” but they go away.
and the descriptions are somewhat vague in my mind.

It is one-time money, Larry. That is why I have suggested the state treat the investments like pilot programs, collect measurable data on the results of each and use those results to support continuation funding for the most cost-effective of them through the state Medicaid program.
The best programs can be instituted in other locales that will benefit from them.

yep. But they’re not even pilot programs. They’re just spending money here and as I said, the words are generic and vague – they are “good intentions” and not much more.
If they were actual pilot programs, the data collection would be required and would be collected and used…
You’re quite the government advocate at times.. especially when money is involved!

Especially when poor people are involved and the fixes proposed for healthcare and education are measured against norms.

When you read my article, you will see that I recommend them as pilot programs if they are not.

I wonder if there is a role for the Virginia Heslthcare Foundation here. They have the capability and know how to build credible models, achieve statewide coverage, and successfully raise public-private funding.

Contact the Secretary of Health and Human Resources through the Governor’s office and pose the question.
