About GAO and the Health Care Team:

Often called the “congressional watchdog,” the U.S. Government Accountability Office is an independent, nonpartisan agency that advises Congress about ways to make government more efficient, effective, ethical, equitable, and responsive.

The Health Care team supports congressional oversight of health care delivery and financing in the United States across Medicare, Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program, Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, Indian Health Service, private markets, public health, and prescription drugs.

GAO is ranked first among mid-sized agencies for support of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. Each team within GAO has a diversity, equity, and inclusion committee, and GAO has over a dozen agency-wide employee organizations focused on those efforts
