Leading the Fight for Better Health Care and Lower Costs For All

Our Mission

Protect Our Care is dedicated to making high-quality, affordable and equitable health care a right, and not a privilege, for everyone in America. We educate the public, influence policy, support health care champions and hold politicians accountable. 

Our strategy combines a campaign mentality with a best-in-class earned media and communications program, a highly effective inside game with policy makers, and deep engagement at the state and local level.

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.
