Together4HealthCare

In a notable move in February, Coalition member organizations - often on opposite sides of the table on health policy issues - came together with the unifying imperative to support the enactment of comprehensive health care reform in 2007. The Together for Health Care Coalition includes AARP, Bay Area Council, Blue Shield of California, California Labor Federation, California Medical Association, California Teachers Association, Catholic Healthcare West, Health Net, Kaiser Permanente, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. The Coalition supports four core principles critical to achieving comprehensive reform: universal coverage, shared responsibility, affordability, and stable long-term funding.
