LWV-Wake Healthcare & Reproductive Rights



The LWV-Wake Healthcare Committee

 

The League of Women Voters believes the U.S. healthcare system should provide a basic level of quality healthcare at an affordable cost to all U.S. residents. Every U.S. resident should have access to affordable, quality healthcare, including birth control and the privacy to make reproductive choices.


LWV-Wake's Healthcare Committee works to educate League members and Wake County voters about critical healthcare issues affecting our state and local communities. We advocate for healthcare reform in alignment with current League public policy positions.


The committee welcomes new members interested in fostering an informed electorate that is well prepared to vote on public policies that support access to appropriate healthcare services and promote a healthy quality of life for all residents. Among the topics of concern to the committee are healthcare access and affordable coverage for North Carolinians, the challenges of health inequities, and reproductive rights.


 If you'd like more information about our committee, please check the League calendar and attend an upcoming meeting.
