The program functions in a population where more than 21 percent do not have medical insurance and, consequently, need to learn health care options. The objectives of the coalition are to educate the public about Maryland’s current health care system and the benefits available to the uninsured and underinsured, and to build grassroots support for a universal health care plan.
