Healthcare For Action

Our goal: to elect healthcare professionals and those focused on healthcare policy.

We put your health first by supporting candidates running for office who care more about people than they do staying in elected office.

All Policy Is Health Policy

There are too many existential threats facing our democracy today. From ensuring access to affordable healthcare and quality education to strengthening our economy and creating good jobs, we must take action now to protect the American promise.

Health First

Ensuring access to affordable healthcare and quality education for every American family.

Protect Democracy

A strong democracy depends on a thriving people who can work, support their families, and live with dignity.

People Over Politics

Supporting candidates who care more about people than staying in elected office.

Why This Matters

Disagreement Is OK. Destruction Is Not.

What we are seeing now, through the “one Big Beautiful Bill,” is the ugly destruction of American families from the greatest assault on our health in a generation.

Every congressional vote for this bill has taken health insurance away from millions of Americans, made it difficult for women to deliver their babies close to home, and raised the cost of lifesaving medications for everyone.

The so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” taxes lifesaving drugs, threatens cancer research, and makes it harder for patients to see their doctors and healthcare providers.

Our Story

Healthcare United For Action

Healthcare For Action was founded in 2022 to support healthcare workers running for Congress. Dr. Anahita Dua, Chair of Healthcare for Action, is a Vascular Surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital and an Associate Professor of Surgery at Harvard University. As a surgeon, she knows that in order to get things done and save lives, the surgery team has to work together and take action. Our politics shouldn’t be any different.

In 2023, Healthcare For Action merged with Doctors In Politics, founded in 2020 by a group of physicians specializing in psychiatry, family medicine, OBGYN, and neurology. They were committed to patient-centered and equitable political change at all levels of government and grew to a membership of nearly 10,000. We believe fundamentally that all policy is health policy.
