Who We Are
Unite Behind Change
At United States of Care, we are listening to people’s needs, developing policy solutions, and partnering with others to ensure our health care system works for everyone. There is an urgency to act now because when it comes to people’s health and wellbeing, waiting for tomorrow is not an option.
What We Do
Challenging the System
At United States of Care, we aim to drive a unique, cross-sector, people-centered approach to prioritizing, creating and advancing state and federal policies that meet people’s needs. Our work is in three keys areas:
-
Research & Listening to People
Pioneering a new approach to uniquely and deeply understand people’s needs to guide our work. -
Innovation & Policy Design
Driving health care policy design centered on the needs of people and mapping the building blocks of the health care system. -
State & Federal Efforts
Securing targeted near- and long-term health care wins that address people’s needs.
The Challenges
42% of voters have foregone health insurance in the past because of costs

Taking action together is the only way we’ll see the other side of this crisis. So many words connect us during this uncertain time, but the one that carries us farthest is TOGETHER.
