Health Access Of California

State lobbying - health access represents health consumers in the state legislature and works to develop health policies. We sponsor and advance key bills so consumers can have confidence that care and coverage will be there when they need it. Lobbying includes advancing legislation on setting a standard for essential health benefits and new insurance market rules, and streamlining enrollment and eligibility for coverage.

Federal lobbying - health access leads the california field campaign of the broad-based coalition for federal health reform, where all americans are guaranteed quality, affordable health care, and are not left alone at the mercy of the insurance companies. We continue to provide briefings for california's elected representations in washington, dc during the year.
