Our beliefs:

Every American should have affordable access to health care.

Transforming health care is a shared responsibility.

Achieving universal coverage is only possible when there is universal participation.

Health care reform should be built upon strengths and successes associated with the competitive marketplace.

Consumers must be empowered with the information, technological tools and product options to make prudent health care decisions.
