The LWVA Health Care Comm (LWVA HCC) actively advocates for state and national health care reform based on the 1993 LWV US health care position. We support publicly financed, privately delivered health care for all US residents. We give talks, table at fairs, and work with other organizations on the local, state and national level to support health care reform legislation. The LWVA HCC meets monthly at the home of one of the eleven committee members. We are delighted to have League members join us; please call Jackie (549-2958) or contact .
