Given that:

• All persons in the United States should be guaranteed affordable and comprehensive quality health care;
• U.S. health care is in need of comprehensive reform that will deliver cost effective quality care to all persons in the United States throughout their life;
• Long-term care must be adequately addressed;
• Mental health must be at parity with physical health; and,
• Health care reform must be consumer driven.

Health care reform must guarantee:

1. Recruitment, education, and placement of bilingual, bicultural providers throughout the health care system.
2. Consumer representation as well as business and labor representation in the determination of health and mental health benefits, allocation of resources, cost containment, and quality of care standards.
3. Consumer choice and access to health care plans.
4. Expansion of consumer education and health education activities.
5. Elimination of barriers to insurance coverage regardless of health status.
6. Access to quality health care to all persons and families, regardless of socioeconomic status.
7. Improve the capacity to deliver primary and preventative care at the community level, and expand the community health delivery and family services networks.
