Doctors for America members focus on all of the ways our patients access, pay for, and receive their medical care by advocating for universal health coverage, affordability, quality, and equity. We work broadly at the national and state levels pushing for comprehensive health system reform, expansion of health insurance coverage, and improvements to health care delivery so that it better meets our patients’ needs. Our members focus on particular parts of the American health system that most impact our patients’ ability to maintain or regain their health, such as in our advocacy for prescription drug affordability and in the fight for the elimination of inequities and health disparities.
Health care is not working for patients, it’s not working for clinicians, and it’s not working for the American public. In the past few weeks, these facts have become abundantly clear. Doctors For America recently outlined five principles upon which we should reform our health care system, which adapted to this unprecedented pandemic of COVID-19, can provide lessons for our local, state, and national leaders.
Our Vision: Universal access to safe, effective, and affordable prescription drugs for all patients.
This action team is committed to working toward solutions to today’s out of control drug prices, which are preventing so many of our patients from accessing the treatments they need to lead healthy and productive lives.
