Abstract
TMA is developing a promising, locally focused version of the accountable care organization (ACO) model that could help cover uninsured and underinsured Texans who fall in the gap or "hole" in the state's safety net: those who make too much money to qualify for Medicaid coverage as it's now administered in Texas, but also don't qualify for Medicare.
