Our Areas of Focus

Achieving Universal Coverage
Too many people in the United States, especially people of color, are either uninsured or underinsured. We track and report on people’s experiences getting and paying for health care. We also evaluate how policies impact health coverage and affordability both here in the U.S. and abroad.

Controlling Health Care Costs
The United States spends more on health care than any other wealthy nation. How can we ensure that care in the U.S. is affordable for individuals, families, and government?

Advancing Health Equity
To us, health equity means that everyone, regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, geographic location, or socioeconomic status — can get high-quality care. The Commonwealth Fund tracks health insurance coverage, affordability, and health outcomes for different U.S. racial and ethnic groups, income groups, and geographic regions. We also highlight policies and practices that can achieve an equitable system for all.

Improving Health Care Quality
People need the right care at the right time. We explore how our health system can work smarter and better, including the policies and practices that will help ensure people get good care and lead healthy lives.
