Health
We aim to improve health care delivery, lower costs, and reduce disparities in access.
We Work In
Health care in the United States is more expensive than in any other country in the world, yet the nation’s overall health doesn’t reflect that level of investment. Our system results in uncoordinated and often unaffordable care for patients; inequities exist among communities; and special interests and market manipulations have inflated costs.
Health care: Our work aims to lower health care spending while ensuring access to high-quality care. We seek to lower prices consumers face, reduce low-value and potentially harmful care, and improve care for complex patients.
Public health: We work to remove barriers that impede people’s right to care by supporting the training of providers, research on public programs, and state-based efforts to broaden treatment and preventative services. We are currently focused on addressing the opioid epidemic, expanding reproductive care, and improving nutrition.

In Pursuit of Profit
Private equity expanded into health care, and early evidence shows the model seems to value profits over patients, exploiting loopholes to make money.
