Affordable health care is essential for physical and mental health, financial security, and employment success. However, workers with low incomes rarely have access to health insurance through their jobs and cannot afford to buy insurance without help. That’s why Medicaid is critical. It provides comprehensive health coverage that prevents illness, promotes children’s development, and supports employment. CLASP works to protect and build on historic gains in insurance coverage made through the Affordable Care Act—fighting back against federal efforts to repeal and block grant Medicaid and pressing states to expand their programs. We also address challenges central to the well-being of individuals and families with low incomes, like accessing maternal depression treatment and young adult behavioral health.
