Washington Community Action Network

Health Care



CaduceusWashington CAN! works to expose and eventually overcome the systemic inequity individuals experience in gaining access to quality health care in this country. At one time, headlines rang declaring the American health care system as the best in the world.

Unfortunately, only a portion of Americans have access to that health care system. Economic status, gender, and race all affect an individual’s ability to gain and keep affordable health care coverage. In our fight to rectify this inequity and cure the ongoing health care crisis for hundreds of thousands of individuals in Washington.

The issues we work on include:



2008 Legislative Agenda

Secure Health Care Campaign

Prescription Drugs

Medicaid and Medicare

Charity Care

Fairshare Healthcare

Patient’s Rights and Medical Malpractice
