Ballot initiatives in AZ, CO, and NE
Dear Chapter Health and Public Policy Leaders:
FYI, there are ballot initiatives in Arizona, Colorado and Nebraska, misleadingly called the "Civil Rights Initiatives," that will be voted on in the upcoming November elections. These ballot initiatives may affect physician workforce and access to care. Attached is relevant ACP policy
, from our 2003 position paper, "Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care" and a Health Professionals for Diversity Coalition Issue Brief on the initiatives.
To access recent and past state health policy reports go to the State Health Policy section on the Chapter Leadership Network (CLN) website
Please contact Shuan Tomlinson at 800-338-2746 ext. 4547 or by email at stomlinson@acponline.org with questions on these or other topics.
