4 Goals and 12 Solutions to Build a Better Health Care System
United States of Care is building a better future for the health care system. We champion fair and commonsense policy changes to meet people’s urgent needs: that their health care will be affordable, their coverage will be dependable and there when they need it, their health care is personalized, and that the system is easy to understand and navigate.
Based on what people across demographics need and want from the system, we have created a one-of-a-kind roadmap of a dozen smart and targeted solutions to the most pressing and urgent challenges people face with the health care system.
USofCare drives change at the state and federal level, in partnership with everyday people, business leaders, health care innovators, fellow advocates, and policymakers. Together, we build new solutions and advocate for change to tackle our shared health care challenges — solutions which people of every demographic tell us will bring them peace of mind and make a positive impact on their lives.
These 4 goals and 12 solutions meet the needs of people across demographics and can drive collective action.
92% of people believe everyone deserves to have access to quality affordable health care.

Achieving these shared goals will move us closer to a system where every person can access health care,
regardless of who they are, how much money they make, or where they live.
Goal 1: Affordability
This means people have certainty they can afford their health care. Cost remains the top concern. People want to get the care they need without fearing they will go into debt. We can start to achieve this by:
- Solution 1: Lowering prescription costs
- Solution 2: Eliminating out-of-pocket costs for basic health care services

Goal 2: Dependability
This means that people have the security and freedom that dependable health care coverage provides as life changes. We can achieve this by:
- Solution 3: Providing new low-cost coverage options that also increase competition
- Solution 4: Allowing people to use tax credits to get coverage outside of their employer
- Solution 5: Expanding eligibility for public programs including Medicare, Medicaid, or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
