index: Refresh with current plans.

* Note work on the reimbursement system.
* Streamline ways to help.
* Remove Phase 1 plans for now, since they're less reflective of the
  current approach.  A lot of the materials are still relevant, but we
  need to figure out a better presentation for them, and they're not
  critical now.
