17. POTENTIAL STRATEGIES AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
Several potential strategies and recommendations
were proposed under each of the four priority
areas, for example:
Access: Advocate for maintenance and full funding of the
PPACA to ensure expansion of Medicaid and establishment
of Health Insurance Exchanges so that more people have
insurance coverage

workplace by adopting healthy vending policies for all
public buildings
