Governor Jindal and DHH Secretary Levine Announce "LA Health First," Effort to Create a Sustainable System of Quality Health Care Governor Bobby Jindal and DHH Secretary Alan Levine today announced details on "Louisiana Health First," an initiative to improve the health of the people in our state and create a financially sustainable system of quality health care. The initiative focuses on expanding health insurance coverage for our working poor and offering Medicaid consumers choices on insurance coverage rather than languishing in a government-imposed one-size-fits-all system. This initiative also works to reduce fraud and system abuse, ensure that providers are more involved in patient care, make the new charity hospital a competitive academic institution in New Orleans, reward providers for better health outcomes, and increase transparency in the Medicaid system by making performance measures available on the Internet.
