Celebrating the 1st Anniversary of the Affordable Care Act!
|
|
One year after the Affordable Care Act ("health reform") was signed into law, Missourians are already benefiting from provisions of the new law.
Missouri Health Care for All supports the Affordable Care Act because it will bring better choices, peace of mind, and increased access to health care for all Missourians. We believe Missouri needs to keep moving forward on health care by implementing and improving on the new law.

Welcome!
JOIN THE MOVEMENT -
Missouri Health Care for All is a non-partisan, statewide movement of 129 faith and community organizations and more than 7,300 Missourians who have endorsed a set of shared Principles. Our Principles affirm, based on faith and moral values, that every Missourian should have access to quality, affordable health care, no matter where they live or how much money they make.
Our movement works to advance our shared Principles by educating members of our endorsing organizations and the public and by taking action on behalf of policies and practices that are consistent with our Principles.
Over the last year, we have actively supported Federal health care reform because, after careful study, we determined that the policies included are consistent with our Principles.
Now that Congress has passed, and President Obama has signed, health reform into law, our work continues. We are working now to:
- Educate Missourians about what is in the laws that passed
- Work with decision makers to ensure that the new health reform laws are implemented well in Missouri
- Protect access to health care and social services for Missourians who need them
- Identify additional opportunities to improve health care access for Missourians
We are guided by a statewide Steering Committee, with local leaders and members throughout the state.
Join Us! We invite you to read our Principles, and if you agree with them, join our movement by endorsing the Principles here. We'll keep you informed about health care issues and give you easy, timely ways to make a difference!
