Health Access Foundation

A nonprofit organization dedicated to achieving quality, affordable health care for all Californians, Health Access is the statewide coalition of organizations representing seniors, children, people with disabilities, immigrants, communities of color, LGBT communities, health care professionals, people of faith, labor, and working families. For over twenty-five years, Health Access has been a leader in the state's health care reform movement. We have promoted universal health care solutions, and have won specific and important victories. Health Access was the leading sponsor of the California HMO Patient Bill of Rights. We work to expand and preserve Medi-Cal, Low Income Health Programs, and other efforts to protect our health care safety-net. As the California state coordinator for the Health Care for America Now! coalition, Health Access played an instrumental role in the national effort to secure federal health care reform. We continue to lead efforts to implement and improve the Affordable Care Act in California
