meeting on April 25, 2013. We know this isn’t a great deal of time, but believe that many of you are already familiar with at least some of the aspects of the proposed Healthy Futures program as it has been discussed in public meetings of the Board, the Healthy
Futures Workgroup and the Benefit Information Exchange (BIE) over the past two months.
