Affordable Health Care

NPC “Political Mutual Fund”

$32,844 Invested

About the Fund

NPC’s Health Care Fund invests in organizations working towards an accessible, affordable health care system. Experts agree that reform must happen first at the state-level, and will require the support of the medical community and small businesses, the latter of which provides 65% of all coverage. This “plan agnostic” investment strategy emphasizes the advocacy and idea generation sectors and focuses on bolstering state-based reform, building coalitions among key stakeholders, and developing political will.

This pragmatic portfolio advocates for more accessible and affordable health care policies, promotes improvements of current health care systems like Medicare and S-Chip, and fosters political will among business, labor, and the public.
