League of Women Voters of the United States Healthcare Position and History

In 1990, the National League of Women Voters undertook a two-year study of the funding and delivery of health care in the United States. Phase 1 studied the delivery and policy goals of the U.S. health care system; Phase 2 focused on health care financing and administration. The LWVUS announced its initial health care position in April 1992 and the final position in April 1993. This position still stands the test of time.

The League of Women Voters of San Luis Obispo County sponsors and/or moderates public forums to introduce candidates and provide information on measures appearing on the ballot. Check the Calendar for scheduled events.

AGP Video's SLO-SPAN network televises government meetings throughout the year, as well as forums during election season. It is an invaluable outlet for keeping government open and accessible to the public. League encourages individuals to watch these government meetings and forums to be a more fully informed citizen.

On May 6, 2013, SLO-SPAN televised the LWVSLOC forum about 'fracking.' The programs are aired live and replayed on countywide cable television Charter Channel 2 and 21. The schedule of televised meetings may be found at http://www.slospan.org.
