Legislative Action

The Greater Minnesota Health Care Coalition is involved in political advocacy and organizing. We meet with individual state and federal legislators, provide testimony to House and Senate committees, organize summits and informational sessions, and connect members with important policy makers to advocate for affordable prescription drugs, a sustainable Medicare system, and health insurance coverage for all citizens.

If you are interested in becoming involved in any of these activities, please contact GMHCC toll-free at 1-888-694-5055.
