What's the role of FTAC?

FTAC will help with the significant planning, analyses, and evaluation needed for the transition to and implementation of a unified health care financing system. This advisory committee will:

  • Serve at the direction of the Universal Health Care Commission.
  • Consider interdependencies between necessary components of a unified financing system.
  • Provide options-based guidance to the commission while considering the impact of that guidance on patients and consumers.
  • Provide options and guidance related to entities responsible for the implementation and administration of a proposed unified health care financing system.
