Guam § 2901 - Legislative Intent.
Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 2901 — Legislative Intent., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 2901. Legislative Intent.
(a) I Liheslaturan Guåhan believes there is a moral and social obligation to increase access to quality
health care for those individuals who lack sufficient financial resources to meet the costs of medical care.
In the past several years, there have been attempts to make changes and revise the Medically Indigent
Program (MIP) to improve services and benefits, decrease costs and still provide the best health care
possible while using scarce public resources.
(b) As the government of Guam continues to experience economic difficulties to address many issues
in the community, health remains to be the forefront in those discussions, especially for those individuals
who cannot afford health insurance. It is paramount that I Liheslaturan Guåhan recognizes this when
allocating health care resources.
(c) It is therefore the intent of I Liheslaturan Guåhan to change the criteria for eligibility and benefit
coverage to reflect budgetary constraints within the Medically Indigent Program without compromising the
health care services provided by the government of Guam.
