Long Hospital in Baton Rouge and Charity Hospital in New Orleans, cuts in Medicaid, Louisiana's LACHIP program (healthcare for children), indigent care, prescription drugs, insurance companies, and home health care. Approximately 150 color photographic slides showing protests by Operation Rescue protesting abortions at Delta Women's Clinic (Baton Rouge) in 1992 are also included. The collection also includes records of the Louisiana Health Care Commission, of which the campaign was a member.
