Advancing Health Care Reform in Georgia
In 2014 every American will be required to have health insurance as a commitment to the health and well-being of their community. ARxC is leading efforts to ensure the new health insurance options made available to Georgians meet the benefit and service needs of the people. In support of the Affordable Care Act, ARxC is working with Georgians to develop a best practice health insurance model. Read more

ARxC is leading an initiative in partnership with Georgia Bio, the Arthritis Foundation, and 15 other health care organizations to stop high co-payments/co-insurance for Specialty Tier medications in Georgia. Read more
Dialysis Crisis or (en español) Diálisis Crisis
ARxC organized in August 2009 when Grady Hospital closed the only dialysis center providing care to uninsured End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients in Georgia. Over the years, ARxC has fought through the court system and led negotiations with Grady Hospital and dialysis companies to ensure the immigrant patients in Atlanta continue to receive the dialysis treatments they need to survive.
