Better Care. Better Value. Real Choice.

Health Action Network was founded to empower individuals and communities to advocate for a healthcare system that delivers affordability, quality, and access by championing market-based solutions, including the critical role of private health insurers in processing claims efficiently, maintaining broad, comprehensive provider networks, and managing the cost of care responsibly.

We advocate for competition that puts consumers first by supporting strong networks of hospitals and providers and rewarding those that deliver real value. When healthcare organizations compete fairly, consumers gain more choices, clearer options, and coverage that fits their healthcare needs and their budgets. Our approach helps rein in rising costs while ensuring people can access the care they need—without surprise bills or limited options.

We believe healthcare should work for consumers by delivering real results and protecting them from waste, fraud, and abuse. When inefficiencies and bad actors are allowed to thrive, consumers pay the price through higher costs and fewer options. We focus on accountability so healthcare dollars go where they belong—toward care, not excess.

We support tools like care coordination and evidence-based utilization review because they help ensure people receive the right care at the right time. By avoiding unnecessary or duplicative treatments, these approaches improve outcomes while controlling costs—helping keep premiums and out-of-pocket expenses lower for consumers.
