A Sampling of Our Principles

Whereas, it is the role and function of government to see that all have access to necessary health care, we support reform and funding of a health care system that guarantees:

1. all residents access to quality, comprehensive health care explicitly defined as a human right.
2. that the pursuit of corporate profit and personal fortune has no place in health care decisions.
