In 2002, Montana received HRSA SPG funds to conduct an in-depth analysis of Montana's uninsured population, obtain Montana specific data about the uninsured, and develop a six-year strategic plan to provide the uninsured access to affordable health insurance coverage. Under the grant, Montana collected and analyzed data on the uninsured and sought to improve the capacity and capability of safety net providers to serve the uninsured and develop policy options to provide affordable coverage and adequate benefits.
