Campaign for Better Health Care
- Campaign for Better Health Care
The Campaign for Better Health Care (CBHC) is a coalition of organizations and individuals organizing to help create and advocate for an accessible, quality health care system that provides for the health care needs of all Illinoisans. Founded in 1989, CBHC is now Illinois’ largest health care coalition.
CBHC launched the Health Care Justice Campaign in 2002. The Health Care Justice Campaign (HCJC) is a coalition of over 100 diverse organizations working together in an attempt to win accessible, quality health care for all Illinois residents. In 2004, the HCJC won passage of the Health Care Justice Act, which calls for implementation of universal health care in Illinois by July 1, 2007.
CBHC collects stories shared by callers to its helpline, a source of information for individuals seeking affordable health care. CBHC focuses on collecting stories pertaining to rapidly increasing insurance premiums, high deductible plans, and difficulties using Medicare Part D. These stories are used to assist CBHC in the fight to enact quality health care for all.
