Voices for Change

Fiscal Year 2007 Annual Report

Dear Health Care For All Members and Supporters:

It’s happening again.

National health reform – the big fix – is front and center on our nation’s policy agenda. Once again, Massachusetts
is helping lead the way. We are generating key ideas to solve problems facing the nation’s 47 million uninsured.
It’s more than that – we are generating the innovations, the passion, and the commitment needed to make
real change.

The real action won’t start until January 2009 when a new President and Congress take charge. But it’s coming.
Let’s hope we’ve learned our lessons and this time we’ll win.

Thank you for your commitment to health care justice. And thank you for supporting one of Massachusetts’
leading organizations to advance health care justice – Health Care For All (HCFA). We do a lot, every day. And
everything we do depends on your support. Health Care For All does three things – and we try to do them as
well as they can be done.

First, we advocate for public policies to provide quality, affordable, culturally competent care for everyone.
We do this by working with hundreds of partner organizations and thousands of individuals. We do this
through Affordable Care Today, the Oral Health Advocacy Task Force, the Children’s Mental Health Campaign
and the Children’s Health Access Coalition, the Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities Action Network, our
eHealth Consumer Network, and our Consumer Health Quality Council.

Second, we run programs to help individual consumers get access to health insurance and health services.
This includes our HelpLine and our Outreach and Enrollment teams. This also includes our Watch Your
Mouth education campaign. Soon it will involve new initiatives to help empower consumers to take better
control of their own health.

Third, we communicate to inform everyone about health care issues and developments that matter. We do
this through our website, our email alerts, A Healthy Blog, our newsletters, and this report.

We do our work as part of a one-of-a-kind collaborative of organizations at 30 Winter Street in downtown

Boston, including: Commonwealth Care Alliance, Community Catalyst, Health Law Advocates, the Public
Policy Institute, and Real Benefits.

Every day, we confront the toughest challenges facing our health system – the challenges of affordable
coverage, racial and ethnic health disparities, unacceptable quality, poor oral health, ineffective mental health
– especially for children, and much more.

Sincerely,

Chip Joffe-Halpern, President John E. McDonough, Executive Director

Joe Rothfarb,
HelpLine Caller
“Thanks to Health Care For All’s HelpLine, I had
access to affordable health care, which gave me
the freedom to pursue nonprofit work and
volunteerism without worrying about job benefits.
The HelpLine simplified the Commonwealth
Care application process for me, so I was able to
obtain the answers and care I needed quickly and
efficiently. I attribute my acceptance to graduate
school in great part to the career flexibility the
new legislation granted me.”
Madelyn Rhenisch, HCFA HelpLine Caller and first person
to enroll in Commonwealth Care, being interviewed at the
Governor’s press conference launching Commonwealth Care.
James Farioli,
HelpLine Caller
“Having Commonwealth Care has been a
blessing. It’s the best health insurance I’ve ever
had. After I lost my job, I was paying over $400
a month for COBRA, which bled my savings
dry. Now, I don’t have to pay any premiums or
co-payments. I was recently hospitalized for
four days, and I never saw a bill. It has been a
tremendous relief.”

 Health Reform –
Voices for Full and Effective Implementation
Why It’s Important: Massachusetts health reform
is improving access for hundreds of thousands of
Massachusetts residents. HCFA and our partners
monitor implementation and advocate for policies
4 that honor health reform’s original intent: to improve
access to comprehensive, affordable, and quality
health care for everyone.
Accomplishments: Between July 2006 and
October 2007, more than 200,000 individuals in
Massachusetts obtained health insurance coverage,
with the vast majority enrolled in the state’s new
subsidized insurance program, Commonwealth
Care. This is health reform’s most important
implementation milestone.
HCFA and the Affordable Care Today (ACT!!)
Coalition advocate for effective health reform on
issues such as employer responsibility, essential
benefits, and affordability. ACT!! collaborates
with the Legislature and key state agencies to
understand how these issues affect consumers.
ACT!! is a state-wide coalition of community and
religious organizations, labor unions, physicians,
hospitals, community health centers, public health
advocates, and consumers.
Additionally, the coalition monitors and advocates
around policies affecting state health care programs
that affect consumers’ ability to access the health
care system. For example, when the Division
of Health Care Finance and Policy proposed
significant changes to the Health Safety Net (the
Uncompensated Care Pool), coalition members
worked to ensure that the program remained a
true health care safety net, a program of last resort
that embodies economic fairness, public health
protection, and social compassion.
What’s Ahead: Health reform implementation is
in full swing, and our work accelerates. HCFA will
continue leading ACT!!, and educating the public
and the Legislature on implementation successes and
shortcomings.
Outreach/Enrollment and HelpLine –
Voices Informing the Community and Consumers
Why It’s Important: With the passage of health reform,
HCFA embarked on ensuring the best possible policy
implementation.
HCFA set up our Outreach and Enrollment team in 2006 to
educate and support community partners in understanding
changes to the health system. The team also educates consumers
on health reform by providing them with information they
need to know to make the best health care access choices and

What’s Ahead: The Outreach and Enrollment, and HelpLine

coverage. The Outreach and Enrollment team will connect with
populations that are more difficult to reach or convince through
broader and more innovative approaches. The HelpLine looks
to expand its team and language capacity; it currently answers
calls in three languages, English, Spanish and Portuguese.

they bring to the ongoing struggle are high values,
reliable expertise, and the tenacity of vision. These gifts
made the difference in our colossal efforts to secure

challenge ahead to fully implement this new law in a just
and effective way.”

“We share Health Care For All’s commitment to assuring

that all children have access to quality health care, and
depend upon HCFA’s leadership and savvy in bringing
people together to work for common goals. HCFA has
had a long and successful history of improving the lives
of children in Massachusetts, and is recognized around
the country for its child advocacy work.”
 Children’s Mental Health –
Uniting Voices for Compassionate, Effective Care
Why it’s important: The mental health system in Massachusetts
is failing our children. Although mental health needs in
children are more prevalent than leukemia, diabetes, and AIDS
combined, each year more than 100,000 children do not receive
the care and treatment they need.
The Children’s Mental Health Campaign includes parents and
families, consumers, advocates, providers, and educators who
have joined together to reform the mental health care system
for children – a broken and flawed system.
Accomplishments: With over 90 committed organizations,
the Children’s Mental Health Campaign supports bold, broad
changes to children’s mental health care to remove barriers
children and families face when seeking treatment. The campaign
supports comprehensive reform legislation to improve the
children’s mental health system.
The campaign engages with state government, insurers, clinicians,
educators, and the public to ensure that children with mental
health disorders are identified early and referred to timely,
appropriate treatment; that insurers pay for treatment; and that
the state actively coordinates services and policy. The campaign
has built momentum through public education, advocacy, and
unifying families and stakeholders.
What’s Ahead: The campaign is mounting a targeted public
education and advocacy effort to transform children’s mental
health by engaging community organizations and their constituents,
promoting state and private funding for training programs, and
advocating for adoption of a school/community-based approach
to mental health care.
Marylou Sudders, president and CEO of Massachusetts Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children, speaks about the need to fix the
flawed children’s mental health system at a press conference before
the children’s mental health bill hearing.
Oral Health –
Speaking Up for Oral Health
Why It’s Important: Dental decay is the most common
childhood infectious disease, and among the most neglected.
In Massachusetts, half of all children have experienced decay
by third grade. A quarter of these children are in school with
untreated decay or infections requiring immediate care. Adult 7
dental disease is associated with adverse outcomes such as
increased risk for heart disease, stroke and the delivery of
premature babies. Fortunately, we have solutions for what the US
Surgeon General has described as the nation’s “Silent Epidemic.”
HCFA and our partners are working to implement the solutions.
HCFA’s Oral Health team combines smart policy advocacy with
community organizing and media. The Oral Health Advocacy
Taskforce is a statewide coalition working to improve oral health
by expanding access to oral health education, prevention, and
treatment programs. Watch Your Mouth raises awareness of
children’s oral health through media advocacy and community
organizing. Both campaigns work with communities to assist
members in finding local and statewide solutions.
Accomplishments: HCFA’s Oral Health team helped secure
funding for the BEST (Bringing Early Education Screening
and Treatment) Oral Health Program. BEST, created by
Partners for a Healthier Community, expands the organization’s
Springfield work to all of Hampden County. It brings oral health
education, screenings, preventive measures, and referrals to
children under age five in Hampden County. After the initial
three year pilot project, we hope to replicate BEST across the
state to reduce dental decay in children.
The team successfully advocated for increased funding for
the Department of Public Health’s Office of Oral Health to
continue community-based programs such as Tufts Dental
Facilities Program, the Taunton Oral Health Clinic, Cape Cod
Dentists Care, and the Forsyth’s Institute Center for Children’s
Oral Health.
What’s Ahead: The HCFA Oral Health team continues to
engage new constituents to get more people thinking about
dental care. To increase access, the Taskforce supports inclusion
of dental coverage in all levels of Commonwealth Care and
the continuation of the BEST Oral Health Program.
 Health Care Quality –
Mobilizing the Consumer Voice
Why it’s important: Poor quality care is devastating – in
lives lost, disabilities, and recovery costs – and it doesn’t have
to happen. As consumers, we are all at risk. But consumers
have had little say in efforts to improve health care quality.
8 We do not know all of the reasons for disparities in health,
Until now.
In 2006, HCFA created the Consumer Health Quality
Initiative to bring a new and powerful consumer voice to
public conversation, legislative debates, and policy decisions
regarding health care quality and patient safety.
Accomplishments: The HCFA Consumer Health Quality
Council started in 2006 and has grown to over 40 active
members who have been personally affected by health
care quality issues and are motivated to advocate for quality
improvement. Council members have sparked a movement.
They continue to recruit new members and build a collective
consumer voice across Massachusetts. Council members
drafted legislation to reduce the incidence of medical errors
by requiring reporting of hospital infection rates and serious
errors and allowing physicians to offer apologies for medical
errors without fear of liability.
Council members have shared their experiences to put a
human face to health care quality and to give consumer
perspectives. Members have met with legislators, policy
makers, and key health care players, and have spoken at
events such as the National Patient Safety Foundation’s
Annual Conference and HCFA’s Annual Policy and
Organizing Conference. Council members have been
profiled in the media, including print, radio, television,
opinion-editorials, and letters to the editor. Council
members have begun a project to collect stories of health
care system encounters and to share them through a variety
of media.
What’s Ahead: This is only the beginning of the consumer
health quality movement. The Consumer Health Quality
Council is growing in membership and influence. Council
members are speaking out to elected officials, policy makers,
and researchers. Our recommendations provide a roadmap
to our ultimate goal — real systems change.
Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities –
Rallying Community Voices
Why It’s Important: Health equity is the civil rights
challenge and movement of our time. Despite major
achievements in the 20th Century to establish equal rights
under law, glaring racial and ethnic health disparities persist.
but we know they are associated with systemic inequalities in
social and physical environments, education, access to care,
and unequal treatment when people receive care.
A comprehensive approach is the best hope to eliminate
health disparities.
The Disparities Action Network (DAN), convened by
HCFA, is the first group of its kind in the nation to join
community leaders, advocates, researchers and health
providers to rally around a comprehensive framework to
eliminate disparities in Massachusetts.
Accomplishments: The DAN brings together 48
organizations to create a political force against health
disparities. The DAN developed comprehensive legislation
to create a new state Office of Health Equity to address key
disparities issues.
HCFA is helping connect community-based disparities
work at the local level with statewide efforts through pilot
projects in Springfield and Worcester. Partners in Springfield
and Worcester have hosted and facilitated community
conversations, seeking to bridge community-based work
on disparities and broader systems change through
conversations between community members and local
institutions.
What’s Ahead: Eliminating health disparities will not happen
overnight. The DAN continues to create political will for
change and encourages others to join.
Health Care Cost Control –
Finding a Voice, Starting the Conversation
Why it’s important: Controlling costs is essential to ensure
health reform’s success. Getting control of rising health care
costs is important for all Massachusetts consumers, whether
they obtain coverage from public or private sources. In 2007,
health insurance premiums in Massachusetts rose by double
digit rates for the seventh year in a row. These unsustainable
increases undermine health reform and harm everyone.
We encourage health care leaders and public officials to come
together to develop a real plan and program to stem the tide
of rising costs. It’s time to start this conversation. In fact, it’s
overdue.
Accomplishments: HCFA helped lay the foundation for this
conversation by developing a consumer-driven health care cost
control agenda. We filed a legislative package of ideas and policy
proposals to address inefficiencies in our health care system.
The legislation proposes a series of initiatives to increase
the value of medical care by improving payment methods,
enhancing transparency, promoting healthy behavior, and
creating accountability. This legislation would:
• Change financial incentives to reward hospitals for
preventing unnecessary readmissions and avoidable
complications.
• Empower and train individuals with chronic disease
to improve their health and well-being by engaging
in effective behavioral self-improvement programs.
• Curb abusive pharmaceutical industry marketing
practices, by banning gifts to providers, promoting
evidence-based prescribing information, and outlawing
the sale of prescribing information.
• Remove barriers to the expansion of the Senior Care
Options (SCO) program to effectively manage care
for “dual eligibles” – seniors and disabled people in
Medicaid and Medicare.
• Require the Division of Insurance to hold public
hearings when premium increases exceed seven
percent in any year.
What’s Ahead: Our legislation is the start of a conversation,
not the conclusion. We invite discussion and feedback on our
suggestions and encourage others to enter this conversation.

Elizabeth Pell,
Consumer
Health Quality
Council Member

“As someone who has experienced the impact of

poor quality care through a friend, I know well the
physical and emotional toll of these mistakes. Being
part of the Consumer Health Quality Council has
empowered me to use my voice to make certain that
the consumer perspective is heard in the health care
quality debate. It is also allowed me to use my voice
to educate the public about the human and financial
impacts of medical error, and the importance of
making health care quality a priority.”

testimony about her family’s experience with an infection and

HCFA Deputy Director Grace Moreno chats with Richard Segan at the annual
For the People: A Celebration of Health Care Leaders event.
Thanks to individual donors, organizations and grantors, Health Care For All (HCFA)
enjoyed a good financial year in Fiscal Year 2007. HCFA realized $3,836,721 in
revenue, a 45 percent increase from the previous year. Eighty-eight percent of HCFA’s
expenditures were spent in policy and programs. HCFA’s expenditure rose by
27 percent in comparison to Fiscal Year 2006, and HCFA had a positive gain in net
assets of $217,453.

Much of the revenue growth resulted from an increase in project grants, which
represents over three-fourths of HCFA’s revenue and an increase of 67 percent from
the previous year. Similar to last year, HCFA received grants from a diverse group of
34 foundations, with the majority of grants awarded for specific programs. Individuals
and organizations supported HCFA’s important work through gifts and the annual For
the People: A Celebration of Health Care Leaders event, resulting in $501,869, some
13 percent of HCFA’s revenue.

HCFA continues to provide timely information about developments in the health care
world through technology with our website, blog, and several e-newsletters. In Fiscal
Year 2007, our website received more than one million visits, a 33 percent increase
from the previous year. The organization also provides up-to-date commentary and
information through the blog site, A Healthy Blog.

Information on how to support HCFA in its work is available at www.hcfama.org.
