Moving Toward A National Black Health Agenda: What African Americans Want from The Democratic and the Republican Party in Healthcare

NBCI's' coalition of 150,000 churches with 27.7 million members is excited to share with you and the United States Congress our National Black Health Agenda. This agenda lays out a budgetary priority to eliminate African American morbidity and mortality.

Reducing the negative impact on quality of life and the psychosocial, and economic burden caused by lack of access to high-quality affordable healthcare is a main concern of forty-two million African American voters. We will vote according to our health interests regardless of political party.
