In partnership with state health advocates, the National Health Law Program litigates on behalf of low-income people, people with disabilities, and organizations serving these groups. Many of our cases have changed institutional practices and set lasting health care precedents. While each state is different, cases in one state can create important precedents and models for advocates across the country.
