Achieving a Healthier Tomorrow
Our broken health care system has produced a health care crisis for the Korean American community. Many are denied access to public health programs because of their immigration status, and even more cannot afford expensive private health insurance, or their employers do not offer health coverage. We need a healthier tomorrow today!
What you can do:
- Sign a petition asking the President abd Obama to pass a just health reform policy.
- Help us collect petitions at churches and marketplaces.
- Share your story.
- Have your organization, business or religious institution endorse our health reform principles.
