ABOUT US

Care Over Cost is a national grassroots campaign founded by People’s Action to address the problem of health insurers stopping people from getting the treatment they need, or refusing to pay for treatments people have already received.

WHO IS PEOPLE'S ACTION INSTITUTE?

Over five decades, People’s Action Institute and our affiliates have fought for reforms that recognize poor and working people’s dignity and make material and political improvements to millions of lives. We are a national network of 39 member-based, power-building organizations in 29 states with more than a million members and tens of thousands of national volunteers. We engage in issue campaigns, public education and training to advance a long-term agenda for racial, economic and gender justice. Our focus now is on investing in our movement’s most precious resources: the capacity and leadership of people and their ability to truly connect to one another.

We believe health care is a human right, and should be available to all.
