The Health Care Justice Campaign is a project of the Campaign for Better Health Care, working in cooperation with over a hundred groups and individuals statewide.
Our goal is to make sure the General Assembly fully implements the Health Care Justice Act by enacting a plan that follows the principles of affordability and accessibility.
