HEALTH CARE

The League of Women Voters of Florida supports the promotion of a health care system that provides access to a basic level of quality care for all Florida residents and controls health care costs.

BACKGROUND

The League has long advocated for health care reform and has found it in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), which was signed into federal law by President Barack Obama on March 30, 2010. Now it is up to each of the 50 states to implement the health reform law according to the prescribed timeline.

USEFUL RESOURCES

For more information about PPACA, check out our PowerPoint presentation Health Care Reform: What Does It Mean For You And Your Family? and corresponding handout. If you are a member of our Speakers Bureau and would like original files, please contact us.

Also check out "LWV Advocacy Bring Results: The Health Care Reform Law" by League member Nancy Rudner Lugo, DrPH and the League of Women Voters of Arizona’s booklet “Health Care Issue Behind Health Care Reform.”
