This summer, ACP-ASIM launched a new initiative, the Decision 2000 Campaign, to elevate the problem of the uninsured on the national agenda. Through Decision 2000, the College is working to secure commitments by presidential and congressional candidates to address the issue of the uninsured and to educate decision-makers about the impact of health insurance on health status. To date, the College has placed advertisements in the Washington Post and other publications highlighting the evidence that the uninsured have worse health outcomes.
