Restoring the Health of America and Its Rural Communities
Healthy America works to create policies that give all Americans full agency in decisions that affect their health and well-being. Decisions about what, how, and where care is received should be made by patients and doctors, not by politicians, bureaucrats, and medical industry. AFPI’s healthcare policies put the patient and doctor in control, dignify life, promote better health and medical outcomes, improve access, and lower costs for Americans.
President Trump announced the Great Healthcare Plan on January 15, 2026, ensuring that patients have the information and tools they need to take back their health. To do this, Congress has introduced a variety of bills to codify the Great Healthcare Plan into law.
When President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law, his administration promised it would make prescription drugs more affordable and accessible for seniors.
Medicare pays hospital-owned clinics up to 670 percent more than independent physician offices for the exact same care. In early July, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) proposed ending that markup for common imaging services without contrast, including X-rays, MRIs and ultrasounds, by paying certain hospital-owned clinics the same rates as independent physician offices. The reform would lower costs for America’s seniors while saving beneficiaries and taxpayers $260 million in 2027 and $7.2 billion over the next 10 years.
Americans have a right to know what is in their food.
The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) celebrates USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins and HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr.’s announcement of the Harvest to Hallways initiative, the next large step in the Trump Administration’s effort to implement responsible nutrition policy. Through its policy work, AFPI has advocated expanding access to high-quality protein, dairy, fruits, vegetables, and other real foods while creating greater opportunities for America's farmers and ranchers and strengthening the connection between federally supported nutrition programs and local communities.
