The Metro New York Health Care for All Campaign is a citywide multi-constituency health care justice coalition. We were founded during the health care reform debate of the early 1990’s, and have continued to bring together community groups, labor unions, professional associations, and faith communities to fight for universal health care, and work on other health care justice issues central to that goal.

Thank you, Everyone! ...for all you did to help pass historic comprehensive national health care reform legislation,
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.

Working together,... WE DID IT!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

COALITION BUILDING AND LEADERSHIP: 

We help lead a statewide campaign,Health Care for All New York, to promote universal health care reform in NY, and link that effort to national campaigns working toward the same goal for the United States.
