About Us
It’s OUR Healthcare!
The Campaign for Quality, Affordable Healthcare for All Californians
The It’s OUR Healthcare! campaign is a coalition of consumer advocates, seniors, health advocates, communities of faith, and labor united to ensure that the people of California’s voice is heard in the debate over healthcare reform.
What We Stand For
We are a united voice for quality, affordable healthcare for every Californian. Our campaign supports:
- Quality, affordable healthcare that allows all Californians to get the healthcare they need when they need it.
- Insurance reforms to control costs and allow everyone access to quality healthcare and coverage.
- Employers and government sharing responsibility and risk with consumers.
- Limits on the risk and burdens placed on individual consumers and families, and protecting them from being forced to buy coverage they cannot afford and that does not cover their healthcare needs.
- Prevention and safety efforts to help individuals get healthy and stay healthy, by providing healthy communities and choices, while not placing financial barriers to care.
- Policies to preserve and strengthen the public hospitals, emergency rooms, and trauma centers that all Californians rely on.
- Efforts to control costs, while protecting benefits and preventing increased financial barriers to care.
