Take Action on Healthcare →📖 What You Need to Know
Healthcare policy in the U.S. operates across federal and state levels. The federal government runs Medicare (65+ and disabled), Medicaid (jointly with states, for low-income individuals), and the ACA marketplace. Congress controls drug pricing rules, hospital regulations, and public health funding. Your representatives vote on bills that directly affect your insurance premiums, drug costs, and what services are covered.
