Health Care For All

Health Care For All Health Care For All (HCFA), a Massachusetts advocacy group, works to achieve a quality, affordable, Our HelpLine counselors have their ear to the ground.

Health Care For All takes a unique approach, leveraging direct service, policy development, coalition building, community organizing, public education and outreach achieve our mission. Our HelpLine fields 30,000 - 40,000 calls every year from people who need to connect to coverage. We help individuals enroll in public programs, get assistance paying for health insurance, and answer questions about private insurance. They know what barriers consumers and patients face. From these thousands of calls, we monitor the trends and develop public policy to address the health care challenges of state residents. We work with state, federal, and local administrations to improve our health care system. We convene and are a part of many coalitions to address specific issues. Our coalitions have had great success. From Massachusetts health reform in 2006 to payment and delivery system reform in 2012, Health Care For All always plays an important role in catalyzing meaningful change. Our advocacy team builds relationships with key decision-makers, but we know that real power comes from the bottom-up. That's why we organize -- person by person -- to develop new health care leaders who make their voices heard.

HCFA's Director of Community Engagement Jamila Xible joined leaders and advocates at the The Everett Haitian Community Center - EHCC to emphasize the ongoing importance of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians, a pillar of the community in Everett and beyond.

“Ending TPS would force these trained, trusted, and culturally competent caregivers out of our communities, creating immediate harm to patients, families, and hospitals," Xible said. "The fear and uncertainty this policy creates not only affects families but also weakens public health and public safety."

Thanks to the Everett Independent for covering this vital issue.

HCFA Interim Executive Director Ashley Blackburn was proud to join Governor Maura Healey's press conference announcing statewide protections for immigrants seeking health care: "Everyone should feel safe seeking medical care in Massachusetts – period. Thriving immigrant communities are vital for a thriving Commonwealth, economically, socially and culturally. Health Care for All stands with Governor Healey and our partners throughout our Commonwealth in ensuring doctor’s offices, hospitals and community health centers remain safe places for immigrants who are patients, caregivers or part of the health care workforce. It is critical that all providers are equipped to help their patients know and understand their fundamental rights in health care settings anywhere in the Commonwealth. Fear should never be a barrier to accessing the health care you need.”
