ABSTRACT
Because no national health program assures entitlement to basic services, advocates must cope with barriers to access on the local level. The authors report several strategies that a community-based coalition has used to improve indigent care in one county. Research strategies have involved short-term investigations of barriers to needed services. Political strategies have attempted to improve the county government's administrative procedures and financial support of services for the poor. Legal strategies have involved the participation of attorneys who represent clients unable to receive care. Although such advocacy efforts do not guarantee access, they can substantially improve the availability of local services.
