LARGO, Md. (DC News Now) -- Prince George's County leaders are looking for ways to continue access to affordable healthcare for low-income, underinsured and uninsured individuals and families. "It is a real thing for people, and we need to find real solutions," said Wala Blegay. "The reality is that health care is expensive, it's gone up over time and the reality is that someone has to pay for it." Since 2018, federal dollars from COVID-19 have been contributing to "The Health Assures" Program. It subsidizes primary health care at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) for thousands of people in Prince George's County who can't afford decent insurance.

"The FQHC are contributing, a substantial amount of service to the community. The county, needs to find a sustainable way to fund a portion of health services. And then there are entities, you know, the business community and hospitals are also, in a position where they might be able to support this," said Sharon Zalewski, Executive Director, Regional Primary Care Coalition. On Tuesday, Blegay introduced a resolution to create a work group to create a workgroup to find ways on how to keep funding the program so everyone can get the access to healthcare they need. Blegay said in the past she introduced a bill to fund the program but it required a dollar amount that surpassed the county's budget. Now she's hoping with work group can come up with solutions. Many who benefit from the program are undocumented, don't have jobs with good insurance, or just have to pay out of pocket which puts them in debt. "A lot of our residents make too much to get Medicaid, they're too young to be on Medicare and then they have to purchase health insurance. Then when they go into that health insurance exchange, the plan that will be most valuable for them and their families is like $600, $700 a month," said Blegay. The resolution was passed during the Committee as a Whole and awaits a final vote from the county council. If passed, the work group will begin in January. "We really want to ensure to the best of our ability that we are, providing people with the opportunity to live healthy lives," said Zalewski.
