Partners,

As the effects of the Republican health care cuts begin to be felt, our nation’s affordability crisis will only become worse. Millions of consumers will lose coverage and experience massive spikes in their health care premiums, and independent rural hospitals across the country will face closure or corporate capture.

We need to send a clear message to Congress that it’s time to prioritize affordability and to enact solutions to lower healthcare costs for our nation's families, right now.

Join us in sending a letter to Congressional leadership as they return from August recess demanding action to address the root causes that have been driving our nation’s unaffordable health care for decades, including the health care industry's unchecked consolidation, anticompetitive practices and price gouging, which has led to reduced access to care, worse health outcomes and lower wages for workers.
Congress already has bipartisan policies available that will lower healthcare costs, including price transparency, and same service, same price. It’s time for them to deliver.

Read the letter and sign on by COB Thursday, August 28.

In addition to legislative advocacy, we also need to come together to call on the Administration to prioritize pro-consumer reforms in this year's Medicare payment rules, which are critical to driving affordable and high-quality health care and improved health for all across the health care system. 

Register to attend our administrative advocacy webinar on Wednesday, August 27, at 3pm ET, where we will discuss the proposed Trump administrative changes to hospital and physician payment that both advance important policy changes to rein in industry abuses and increase payment for primary care but also that repeal critical requirements to advance health equity, and opportunities to join federal comment letters. You can register to attend here.

Thank you, and please reach out if you have any questions.
