Healthcare advocacy coalitions can have a powerful impact on health reform. A coalition consists of individuals and organizations with a coordinated approach to achieving a common goal. Through legislative visits, strategic campaigns, and grassroots-level mobilization of stakeholders, many coalitions are able to influence legislation and effectively shape the direction of reform.

In California, Health4All and Care4AllCA are organizing efforts throughout the state to advocate for a better healthcare system. Through passionate and persistent advocacy, members of both coalitions have helped achieve major legislative victories, including Senate Bill 4 (Health for All Kids Act), which was implemented in 2016. SB 4 expanded full-scope Medi-Cal to all California children regardless of immigration status. CaHPSA members were at the steps of our State Capitol advocating for SB 4 in 2015!

CaHPSA is thrilled to be a coalition partner of both Health4All and Care4AllCA. 

The Health4All campaign mobilizes advocates in support of a more inclusive and equitable healthcare system, one that includes all Californians regardless of immigration status.

Care4AllCA is a coalition of consumer, community, labor, progressive, and health care organizations working to make measurable progress toward universal coverage in our state. 

As members of the statewide Health4All and Care4AllCA coalitions, CaHPSA joins our fellow healthcare advocates in celebrating the recent passage of health bills during the 2019-20 legislative session that will improve the quality, accessibility, and affordability of our state’s healthcare system. We also recognize that much more can be done, so additional health reform bills will be introduced next year for the 2020-21 legislative session. We hope you’ll join us in continuing to advocate for a healthcare system that will work for ALL people!
