Join Doctors for America in
Building a Stronger Health System this Year
We, the physicians and medical students of Doctors for America, are committed to working for health reform this year focused on four pillars:
- Bringing affordable health insurance to all Americans
- Ensuring high quality, 21st century care
- Expanding access to care
- Creating practice environments that allow physicians to focus on patient care
We believe that incorporating the experiences and perspectives of physicians is critical to fashioning a solution to our current healthcare crisis. That's why we are bringing our voices to health reform.
