Maryland is keeping its promise to make health care more accessible and affordable for working families. Over 200,000 Marylanders have gained health care coverage since 2007 and we have the state leadership and our coalition partners to thank for bringing us much closer to our goal of quality affordable health care for all!

OVER 140 GENERAL ASSEMBLY CANDIDATES HAVE ENDORSED THE DIME A DRINK ALCOHOL TAX
FOR HEALTH CARE & COMMUNITY SERVICES
We are thrilled that so many candidates, including Democrats and Republicans from all across the State, have already endorsed this life-saving proposal. They know that the public strongly supports increasing the alcohol tax to save lives and fund critical state programs. With this growing support, we are very hopeful that a dime a drink alcohol tax increase for health care and community service needs will pass in the 2011 Session.

Federal Health Reform in Maryland
Governor Martin O'Malley established the Health Care Reform Coordinating Council to ensure swift and strategic local implementation of the federal health reform law. Meetings of the council are open to the public and they want to hear from you! Send your comments through their website to let them know how federal reform measures can best serve your community.
Here are our thoughts on the matter: Our coalition's letter to the Health Reform Coordinating Council.
(June 2010)
The Health Care for All! Coalition is a nonprofit organization that has been working to make quality health care affordable and easily accessible to all Marylanders since 1999. We have successfully advocated for laws that expanded health care coverage in Maryland to over 200,000 uninsured Marylanders, bringing Maryland from 44th in the nation in health care for adults to 16th. The 1,200 organizations that are members of our Health Care For All! Coalition work together to make sure everyone who is eligible for public health care programs gets enrolled. Together, we will achieve our goal of health care for all.
