Welcome to the National Health Council


The National Health Council (NHC) provides a voice for the millions of people with chronic diseases and disabilities and their family caregivers.  The NHC is currently urging people across the country to tell elected officials that we want health care reform legislation passed this year that will

  • Cover everyone

  • Curb costs responsibly

  • Abolish exclusions for pre-existing conditions

  • Eliminate lifetime caps on benefits

  • Ensure access to long-term and end-of-life care


 

What’s happening with Health Care Reform?
 

 

The NHC’s mission is to provide a united voice for people with chronic diseases and disabilities. We work to:

  • improve the health of all people
  • increase support for health research
  • strengthen the community of patient advocacy organizations

We believe that you deserve the kind of health care that puts your needs first.
