Formerly available only as a quarterly, subscription-based print newsletter, the Health Advocate has been re-launched as a monthly free e-newsletter. The new Health Advocate has the same trenchant analysis, detailed descriptions, and careful research that subscribers have come to rely on, but the new format will allow us to ensure that it is even timelier and that it reaches an even wider audience.

The Health Advocate will keep you up-to-date on critical developments in our health care system. Dramatic changes are threatening the safety net that protects us all, especially poor children, the elderly, those with disabilities and those without private insurance.

Want to know . . .

  • what states are doing to preserve a rapidly fraying safety net…
  • the latest developments in counteracting abusive managed care practices…
  • how the courts are treating new methods of sharing the costs for caring for those without health care insurance…
  • which states are still implementing federal requirements to provide preventive services to children…
  • what new court cases have been filed by advocates…

. . . and what it could mean for you and for patients, doctors, and advocates in your community?

These and dozens of topics are covered in Health Advocate, along with: updates in federal laws, regulations and programs, court decisions in health care law affecting low-income people, state laws and health care programs, developments in the fast-growing field of Medicaid managed care law, and trends in preserving the health care safety net.
