We wrote about the HHS draft strategic plan in early October. Comments were due last week and NoHLA joined the many organizations expressing concern for the direction the Department of Health & Human Services is heading in. Our comments addressed the Strategic Plan’s implications for reproductive health, people with disabilities, health equity, LGBT populations, and people with substance use disorders. In addition, we reflected on the inappropriate inclusion of political goals and rhetoric (focusing on life beginning at conception, for example) instead of performance indicators.
