Direct peers

• Bipartisan Policy Center: BPC is a direct peer that explicitly drives bipartisan solutions through policy convening and analysis. Like the Alliance, it was founded on bipartisan principles, hosts convenings for policymakers, and operates in Washington, DC, but covers a broader policy portfolio beyond health.
• Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF): KFF is a leading nonpartisan health policy research, polling, and news organization. It is the most direct peer to the Alliance: both are nonpartisan, nonprofit, and serve journalists, policymakers, and the public with trusted health policy information, though KFF is significantly larger with deeper research capacity.
• Commonwealth Fund: Commonwealth Fund is a private foundation supporting independent research on health policy and practice. Comparable to the Alliance as a health-focused nonprofit serving policymakers and stakeholders, but it primarily funds external research rather than convening events directly.
• National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP): NASHP is a nonpartisan forum of state policymakers developing innovative health policy solutions. It shares the Alliance's nonpartisan educational mission and convening model but focuses on state rather than federal policymakers.
• Health Affairs: Health Affairs is the leading peer-reviewed journal on health policy, serving policymakers, researchers, and the healthcare industry with evidence-based analysis. It overlaps with the Alliance's audience (policymakers, journalists, stakeholders) and educational mission in health policy.
• National Health Council: NHC is a nonprofit association of patient advocacy and health-related organizations that convenes diverse stakeholders on health policy issues. It shares the Alliance's mission of bringing balanced perspectives to health policy discussions and serves a similar multi-stakeholder audience.

Broad incumbents

• American Hospital Association (AHA): AHA is the national trade association representing hospitals and health systems, providing policy advocacy, education, and convening. It is a comparable nonprofit convening organization in the health policy space but represents a specific industry constituency.
• America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP): AHIP is the national trade association for health insurance providers, convening industry stakeholders and engaging with policymakers on health policy. It overlaps with the Alliance's healthcare stakeholder audience but represents an industry constituency rather than a neutral educational posture.
• Pew Charitable Trusts (Health Programs): Pew's health programs conduct nonpartisan research and advocate for evidence-based health policy improvements. It is comparable as a major foundation producing trusted health policy research and convening, though at significantly larger scale and across many policy domains.
• Brookings Institution: Brookings is a major established think tank producing influential health policy research alongside broader economic and foreign policy work. It competes for Hill staff attention and foundation funding but as part of a much wider portfolio across all policy domains.
