state-subsidized insurance
program from further
budget cuts. Check out the Friends of Basic Health page. You can also follow FBH

Health story to share it on
the FBH page.
National Health Reform
on the horizon?
Congress is now developing proposals for national health reform. NoHLA is involved on many fronts: Advocacy with members of Congress; Marching to demand health care for all; applying our Human Rights assessment to evaluate national health reform proposals.
Northwest Health Law Advocates (NoHLA) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to achieve a seamless and equitable health care system, in which individuals are assured of basic rights and protections, and continuity of care, regardless of who they are and the type of health insurance they have.
Our work focuses on issues of concern to low-income individuals and families, particularly in Washington State. Please see NoHLA Advocacy for information about NoHLA's recent work.
NoHLA's work involves:
- Legal consultation to attorneys and advocates on public health insurance programs
- Legal and policy analysis
- Training and community education
- Legislative and administrative advocacy

"I am a Medicaid and Medicare recipient and a grassroots activist and leader. NoHLA represents people who otherwise would not have a voice in the legislative and rule making process. NoHLA is a leader in the fight for a better health care system, which is so desperately needed."
Your support enables NoHLA
to work toward a better
health care system.
