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.

Senate Health Bill Would Destroy Medicaid

Senate leaders unveiled their health care bill, and the new legislation would do even more damage than the House bill passed last month by gutting Medicaid and taking away health coverage from millions. In particular, the Senate’s cuts and caps to Medicaid are worse over time than the House bill, putting health coverage for children, people with disabilities, and seniors at serious risk. We need a strong backlash over the next few days!

Stop the Senate’s Hidden Plan to Take Health Care from Millions

Beware of backroom deals that put health care at risk for millions. Right now, Senate leaders are working behind closed doors to draft a health care bill they believe will improve coverage and access. But it’s a Trojan Horse. They’ve taken the horrendous House bill and simply concealed it with cosmetic changes so that Americans don’t see the threat until it’s too late. Don’t be fooled – just like the House bill, this plan is disaster waiting to happen.

Reflections from a First Time Lobbyist

My name is Skye Dixon, I am from Muskogee, Oklahoma as a sophomore at Oklahoma State University as a biochemistry and molecular biology major. This is my first time ever in Washington D.C., and, in my second week here, I got a chance to go to Capitol Hill for the first time interning at RESULTS through the EYA program.

White House budget would strip health care, education, and economic opportunity from millions

With its first federal budget proposal, the White House has taken aim at families struggling to put food on the table, kids around the world seeking an education, and millions more people facing poverty. Proposing massive funding cuts to effective anti-poverty programs, the budget jeopardizes the futures of people across the country and around the world. Now Congress takes up the process.

Write to the media: This budget isn’t just wrong, it’s cruel

The White House released its official budget request, and it’s filled with bad news. It slashes the programs that help millions of Americans put food on the table, get access to medical care, and make ends meet. But our final budget decisions fall to Congress – and they need to know that you won’t stand for this.
