Citizen Action of Wisconsin Education Fund has developed a national reputation as one of the leading state-based groups promoting comprehensive health care reform. Our signature got healthcare? campaign has in recent years won major national awards from Families USA, the Progressive States Network, and the Ballot Initiatives Strategy Center.

 

Citizen Action of Wisconsin Education Fund’s leadership and stakeholders are deeply committed to the proposition that access to quality affordable health care is a fundamental right which ought to be guaranteed to everyone in America.  We also believe that health care reform is a keystone progressive issue that is capable of shifting public attitudes towards the role of democracy in restraining predatory competition in American society.  The success of comprehensive health care reform will both address a fundamental wrong in American society and open new space for other fundamental progressive reforms, while its failure could foreclose these possibilities.
