What We Do
We leverage timely information and on-the-ground research to improve access to affordable health care for low-income people. Medicaid and Medicare are pivotal in providing health care coverage to enable people to lead healthier lives, obtain needed health care services and focus on achieving greater economic stability.
Our Approach
Improving understanding of the role of health coverage programs, identifying gaps and disparities in coverage and financing to underpin policy development.
Developing strategies and solutions to advance health coverage, promote health equity and affordability of health coverage and to improve the way programs operate for low-income people.
Listening and learning from people’s experiences, drawing on the research evidence, and informing policy at the federal, state and local level is integral to building workable solutions.
