Access to Affordable Care

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.

Transformational Health Care

Transformational Health Care at Doctors for America believes the primary focus of health reform has been on universal, equitable, affordable care - critical, but insufficient. Doctors know that even if we get everyone covered, we need to transform the delivery system - it’s too complex for patients and providers. Primary care is neglected. Transparency is lacking. And then there’s the EMR.
