AMSA: Health Policy Committee

Vision

The first point on AMSA's Legislative Agenda outlines our position on health policy advocacy: Quality, Affordable Guaranteed Health Care for All

AMSA supports universal access to high-quality health care for all. Further, AMSA believes the best strategy to realize health care as a right in this country is a publicly funded, privately delivered national single-payer system. In pursuit of this goal, AMSA advocates for:
  • Guaranteed access and coverage
  • High quality of benefits
  • Affordability (in the absence of a single-payer system)
  • Guaranteed access to care and equitable treatment for all

Case's AMSA Health Policy Committee is committed to furthering health justice via policy. Our organization coordinates physicians and medical students for educational Health Justice Suppers, runs voter registration tabling, and collaborates with other health justice organizations at the CWRU SOM.
