Session: Winning Health Access in the Sunbelt

Oral
Winning Health Access in the Sunbelt
This session will outline the steps taken in building public support for health care and describe how victories were won in 2004. They are based on recent successes in the South. Given many of the cuts in public financing in the pipeline across the country, health care advocates in the North best take note.
Learning Objectives: Those in attendance will increase their knowledge of how to build public support for health care and how to convert that support into election victories.
