Health Care Reform is Now Law
Doctors for America lauds historic passage of the Affordable Care Act
Congress has taken a crucial first step towards making the US health care system more just and inclusive for all.
Medical Professionals played a critical role in this process - thank you!
At Stake: The Future of Health in our Nation
14,000 Americans are losing access to a doctor every day. Doctors across the country are finding it harder and harder to provide the care patients need. As doctors and medical students, we're fighting for a health care system that ensures that all Americans receive access to high quality care - the kind of care that we, as physicians, want to be delivering to our patients.
Get Involved today.
A First Hand View of a Broken System
As doctors, we see the shortcomings of our health care system every day. We see patients denied the care we prescribe and families losing access to their doctors. We see a system that takes our time away from our patients and from doing what we've trained to do.
Read stories from physicians on the front lines and share yours as well.
The Voice of Physicians in Your Community
Doctors for America has over 16,000 members in all 50 states who are getting involved to build a better health system. For too long, the voices of physicians in our broken system haven't been heard.
