Health Care Action (MHCA) is a grassroots advocacy group working in coalition with other local and statewide advocacy organizations working toward achieving accessible, affordable and adequate health care for all. We work in coalitionwith other coalition partners such as the Maryland Citizens Health Initiative, Unitarian Universalist Legislative Ministry, Medicaid Matters-MD, Advocates for Children and Youth, Progressive Maryland, Healthcare Maryland, plus many more.
Our goal of full coverage for all Marylanders in 2009 is based upon our reading ot the primary problem in Maryland: lack of accessibility to affordable health care. We have recently helped the Special Session to progressively reform the maryland budget and pass the Healthy Maryland Bill to cover an additional 100,000 Marylanders, only the start to cover all 800,000 uninsured Marylanders. We organize and participate in presentations, rallies, call-ins, and other forums which support health care for all. We lobby the General Assembly of Maryland and the U.S. Congress to achieve our goals.
Working with Maryland Citizens Health Initiative, we are planning a Town Hall Meeting at River Road Unitarian Universalist Congregation on February 26 at 6 - 9 pm to glean ideas from the general public who care about the general direction that health care is going in Maryland, and ultimately the nation.
