"Recognizing the importance of health care reform in West
Virginia."
Whereas, The opportunity to have access to health care is a
basic need that all West Virginians share and it is the
foundation for future generations; and
Whereas,
We believe that West Virginia's crisis of health
care affordability can be solved; and
Whereas,
All West Virginians should have access to quality,
affordable health care and these costs should not burden future
generations. The care should be available without discrimination
or exclusions based on income, medical condition, employment
status, gender, age, geography, or other factors ; and
Whereas,
Wellness and prevention efforts, including changes
in personal behavior such as diet and exercise, should be top
priorities; and
Whereas,
Comprehensive health care coverage must be
affordable to all purchasers: individuals, families, businesses,
and government and the rising cost of West Virginia health care
and coverage must be effectively contained; and
Whereas,
more than 60 organizations have come together as
West Virginians' Campaign for a Healthy Future to push for
significant health care reform; therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Delegates:
That the House of Delegates hereby recognizes the many
individuals who have come together to support health care reform
in West Virignia; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the House of Delegates extends its
sincere appreciation to the members of West Virginians' Campaign for a Healthy Future for its many contributions to the State of
West Virginia; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates
forward a certified copy of this resolution to the appropriate
representatives of West Virginians' Campaign for a Healthy
Future.
