  • Developed coalitions in 43 states that changed attitudes, mobilized action, educated lawmakers and created change.
  • Worked closely with 19 national organizations representing communities, labor, education, children, poverty, women, and civil rights that signed on as Steering Committee members.
  • Signed on more than 1,000 national, state, and local organizations as supporting partners.

  • Released major national and state reports concerning:

    - Lack of insurance industry competition

    - Racial and ethnic disparities in health status and health care
    - State-by-state impact of health reform on state budgets
