We believe that health care should be a right — not a privilege in this country.

Expanding Coverage

We defend the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Medicaid and Medicare from legislative and legal attacks and lobby for policies that will strengthen and expand these vital programs.

Lowering Costs

We advocate for policies that will reduce what people pay for prescription drugs, out-of-pocket fees, insurance premiums and other health care costs.

Promoting Racial Equity in Health Care

We work with our partners to address systemic racial, ethnic and other inequities in the American health care system through legislative and administrative actions.
