Our Federal Policy Efforts
Advancing Long-term Federal Policy Improvements
We’re working to create the conditions for long-term change. We know that we need a new national conversation and new innovative solutions to build momentum to federal change that won’t be overturned at every election.
Our Goal
Our goal is to expand access to quality, affordable health care in the near term while paving a path toward durable, people-centered federal policies. In order to achieve improved outcomes for people, health care policies must protect people from financial devastation due to illness or injury, be fiscally responsible and achieve the durable political support necessary to ensure long-term stability.
In the future, we want all people to be able to access high-quality health care in a way that meets their unique needs at a price they can afford.

About the Federal Policy & Advocacy Team
Our federal policy work is guided by what people across the country tell us they need from their health care. Our work is focused on protecting coverage through Medicare, Medicaid, and the marketplaces, while also pushing for lower out-of-pocket costs and fairer billing practices. By working alongside Congress and the Administration, we work to shape bipartisan, people-first solutions that put families and individuals at the center of health policy.
USofCare’s Federal Policy & Advocacy Team consists of Lisa Hunter, Senior Director of Federal Policy & Advocacy and Alyssa Penna, Director of Federal Policy.
