NCWU 2003 Report Card Released
With hard work from representatives from many NCWU member organizations, a
summary of the 2003 North Carolina legislative session is now ready.
Other
On February 23, 2004, the NC Women United membership voted unanimously at its
regular membership meeting to endorse the "Right to Health Care" legislation
(HB 1098) advanced by the North
Carolina Committee to Defend Health Care and sponsored by Representatives
Verla Insko, Thomas Wright, Martha Alexander, Paul Luebke, and Jennifer Weiss.
This legislation would amend the NC constitution to recognize the right of all
North Carolinians to health care. If passed by the NC General Assembly and accepted
as a constitutional amendment by voters, this legislation would give the sate
a finite period of time to adopt and implement a plan that enalbes all residents
of the state to obtain appropriate health care on a regular basis.
