A new report focused on ways health insurance plans can improve health equity in New York also includes ideas that can be applied in other states. "Leveling Up: A Role for Health Plans in Improving Health Equity in New York," released by the New York City-based independent and nonprofit United Hospital Fund, provides numerous examples of interventions insurers are already taking (or can take) to improve health equity in New York and other states.
