About Us

Thanks to our historic health reform law, Americans will be able to get the care they need, when they need it, and insurance companies will finally be held accountable for putting profits before people.

While passing the law was a victory for health care consumers, there is still more work to be done. Not everyone knows about the great benefits and key protections in our new law, and opponents of reform are using that lack of awareness to their advantage. They’ve spent the past year and a half spreading lies in an attempt to score political points and repeal the law.

That’s why we created Stand Up for Health Care. This project cuts through the dense statistics, the spin, and the confusion to explain the issues clearly, empowering Americans with knowledge and giving them the opportunity to become health care leaders.

Stand Up for Health Care is a project of Families USA, a national nonprofit, non-partisan organization dedicated to the achievement of high-quality, affordable health care for all Americans. Working at the national, state, and community levels, we have earned a national reputation as an effective voice for health care consumers for 25 years.
