Health Care For All

Health Care For All (HCFA) was honored to join Undersecretary of Health and Human Services (and former HCFA Executive Director!) Amy Rosenthal, Governor Maura Healey, and other stakeholders in the Healey-Driscoll Health Care Affordability Workgroup for an event announcing new affordability recommendations at Cape Cod Hospital. We commend the Governor and her team for pursuing solutions to help individuals and families in Massachusetts who are grappling with often impossible health care cost challenges!

Health Care For All was featured in a CommonWealth Beacon piece about recent House actions to advance primary care in Massachusetts - something we've long advocated for.

Great news — the Massachusetts House has advanced a proposal that would bring more timely, affordable primary care to the Commonwealth. A big THANK YOU to Speaker Ron Mariano, State Representative Aaron Michlewitz, and Chair Lawn for taking action on this critical issue, and we look forward to working with our partners to advance this bill in the House and Senate.

Primary Care is the foundation of a high-performing health system, providing accessible, comprehensive, and continuous care that improves health outcomes, advances equity, and lowers costs. So why doesn't our health care system prioritize it?

Our latest piece on HCFA's blog outlines various ways Massachusetts could take action to bolster primary care. Read it at the link in comments.

Last year, the federal government passed the largest eligibility and funding cuts to Medicaid in the program's history.

HCFA is hosting free webinars about how these upcoming cuts affect MassHealth here in Massachusetts. Each session covers the same information, so you can join us whenever is most convenient for you.

We are thrilled to be kicking off a new series today on the HCFA blog! "Community Corner" will introduce you to community-based organizations across Massachusetts who have worked in partnership with HCFA to expand access to equitable, affordable health care.

Our first installment spotlights Immigrants' Assistance Center, Inc. (IAC), based in New Bedford. We sat down with IAC President Helena DaSilva Hughes to talk about the needs and experiences of immigrants in New Bedford, how fear restricts access to social services, community outreach to boost health insurance enrollment, and more.

Thank you for over 50 years of community advocacy, IAC - we're so proud to call you a partner.
