U.S. Health & Nutrition

At RESULTS, we believe that everyone deserves affordable health care and nutritious food to eat. We work to:

Strengthen and expand SNAP (formerly known as food stamps), which helps put food on the table for more than 40 million Americans. We push back against any policy proposals that would harm or undermine the program.
Ensure that Medicaid, a federal health insurance program that provides free or low-cost health care for 1 in 5 people in the United States, stays fully funded and available to those who need it.

If you are wondering whether lobby meetings are something you can be a part of, the answer is ‘yes.’

Reconciliation: What you need to know today — “Improve the CTC and don’t cut SNAP or Medicaid”

For decades, RESULTS volunteers have advocated for programs that reduce poverty and oppression. Congress is considering “reconciliation” legislation that would slash support for families surviving poverty. There is no group of advocates better prepared to deliver in this chaotic moment than RESULTS volunteers.
