Key Stakeholders Needed to Enact Change

• Federal politicians: Congress and the President, control national healthcare funding, Medicaid policy, and federal healthcare laws.

• State politicians: Governors and state legislatures, manage Medicaid programs and have the power to expand or protect healthcare access.

• Local officials: Mayors, county leaders, and school boards, can support community clinics, disability services, and local outreach that directly assist working-class families.

• Corporations and healthcare institutions: Insurance companies, hospitals, and major employers, influence healthcare affordability through coverage, pricing, and benefits.

• Local community members and advocacy groups: Drive awareness, build public pressure, and hold decision-makers accountable for protecting healthcare access.
