U.S. Health & Nutrition

At RESULTS, we believe that everyone deserves affordable healthcare 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.

A look at RESULTS campaigns in 2021

As RESULTS kicks off our First 100 Days campaign, we’ll be pushing right away for more COVID relief that’s so desperately needed. The first 100 days will help decide which trajectory the country and world get on – one that goes back to “normal” after the pandemic, or one that actually builds with equity and justice.

Onward

Congress finally agreed to a new COVID relief package, which will help millions more people put food on the table, stay housed, and access lifesaving vaccines. To each of you who played a role in this, thank you. But our work is far, far from finished, as millions of people continue to live on the brink.

Channeling passion into change

My first time meeting a member of Congress, I was pretty starstruck. Little did I know that time on Capitol Hill would change everything.

The White House has released a series of harmful proposed rules that target low-income people and disproportionately harm communities of color.
