"Whatever the politics, today's decision was a victory for people all over this country whose lives will be more secure because of this law and the Supreme Court's decision to uphold it.” –President Barack Obama, June 28, 2012
Welcome! Families USA is pleased to invite you to Health Action 2013!
Please join us Thursday, January 31, through Saturday, February 2, 2013, at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.
As health care advocates, we are all struggling to rise to the different opportunities and challenges we face. Our work has many facets. We’re fighting for full implementation of the Affordable Care Act. We are constantly defending our public health insurance programs at the federal and state levels. Many of us are working on system reform, improving quality and controlling costs. In addition, we are gearing up for the biggest push for outreach and enrollment in health insurance in our nation’s history.
The work of state advocates, national advocacy organizations, and health care and policy professionals is critical in reaching our shared goals of increased access to quality, affordable health care for every American. The Health Action Conference provides an incredible opportunity for us to come together to discuss our challenges and make ambitious plans for the coming year.
Join us at Health Action 2013, where we will:
Hear powerful speeches from state and national leaders, including the Administration;
Learn more about next steps for states in protecting Medicare and Medicaid, and ensuring the Affordable Care Act is fully implemented across the nation;
Learn more about emerging advocacy strategies, system reform, and ways to improve quality, while controlling costs;
Share field strategies and tactics and strengthen our advocacy skills;
Network with state and local advocates from across the country.
Health Action 2013 is organized by Families USA with support from a broad spectrum of advocacy organizations throughout the health advocacy community. We hope you can join us!
