Position Summary
Protect Our Care is leading the fight to protect and strengthen health care for millions of Americans. With Joe Biden in the White House, and Democrats in charge of the House and Senate, we have a once in a decade opportunity to increase coverage, lower health care costs and address racial inequities in our health care system. But we must act quickly and decisively to overturn four years of Republican sabotage and make the progress Americans deserve.
We are the communications, organizing, rapid response, research and messaging center in the fight for health care, and we work closely with our partners across the country to ensure all Americans have affordable, quality health care. In the middle of a pandemic and an economic crisis, the fight for health care has never been more important.
Protect Our Care is working every day to make health care a right, not a privilege for all Americans — and with your help, we will win this fight.
