Expanding Health Care Access
Working Partnerships' vision is access to affordable, quality health care for all Americans. In our continuing focus on health policy, Working Partnerships USA has striven to develop innovative local models that expand health insurance coverage to low and middle income families while fighting to preserve the safety net and the long-term viability of our health delivery system for everyone. To spread access to affordable health care across California, we assist other regions in replicating our models and support state-level efforts to expand health coverage. Learn more

Government Accountability and Reform
In the face of the closed-door ethic that says government should "think like a business" and treat its citizens like customers, we insist that in America, we're not our government's customers; we're its owners. Government reform should not mean giving the powerful and privileged more access. Real reform means building a government that is answerable to all its citizens, including low income families, working people, immigrants, and communities of color that have long been excluded from the halls of power. Our efforts at government reform, from improving the region's transportation system to demanding accountable economic development in our community, all stem from a common conviction: government works for us.
