The Health Security for New Mexicans Campaign, a statewide, nonpartisan coalition of over 145 organizations and numerous individual supporters, was created in 1992. Its mission is to establish a publicly accountable health care system in New Mexico that guarantees comprehensive and affordable health care coverage, including preventive health care and freedom of choice of provider, for all New Mexicans.

The Campaign, with public input from around the state, has developed the Health Security Plan as a solution to our growing health care crisis. The Health Security Plan is designed like a cooperative and is a health coverage model that does not rely on the current private insurance system. Plan members would have complete freedom of choice of health care provider and facility (no more networks), even across state lines, and would receive the same services currently offered to state employees.

Legislation based on this plan has been introduced in the state legislature several times as the Health Security Act and is gaining greater credibility and support, despite powerful insurance industry opposition. To date, 32 New Mexico counties and municipalities have passed resolutions in support of the Health Security Act.
