In 2009, President Obama signaled to Congress that he wanted to pass health care reform for all Americans. Campaign for Better Health Care held press conferences, rallies, and educational events all around Illinois to help pass health care reform. On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, guaranteeing affordable, accessible, quality health care for all Americans. Now CBHC will be working to implement and improve health care reform for everyone in Illinois.
