To develop the options for achieving universal health care coverage described in Section 25001, the secretary shall establish a process by which these options are developed. The process shall at a minimum include the following:
(a) The examination and utilization of research results from the study performed by the University of California with regard to methods of financing, delivering and defining universal health care coverage, done pursuant to the criteria in Senate Concurrent Resolution 100 of the 1997 1998 Regular Session of the Legislature.
(b) The examination and utilization of other data and information, as requested by the secretary or provided to the secretary, with regard to methods of financing, delivering, or defining universal health care coverage.
(c) Developing a process by which representatives of health care consumers, providers, insurers, health care workers, advocates, counties, and all other interested parties are engaged in discussion and debate of the issues faced by the state in providing universal health coverage. The secretary shall develop the methods by which this discussion occurs, provided that it is broadly inclusive of all groups with an interest in universal health care coverage.
(d) Interagency participation including, but not limited to, the State Department of Health Services, the State Department of Mental Health, the Department of Finance, the Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board, the Department of Consumer Affairs, the Public Employees Retirement System, the State Department of Social Services, the Department of Managed Health Care, the Department of Insurance, and any other appropriate agencies which the secretary determines can contribute to the effort to provide universal health care coverage.
(e) Obtaining information from the United States Health Care Financing Administration regarding federal waivers or other forms of federal participation, if necessary.
