Every D4PC member supports the mission to pursue long overdue health insurance reform. It is true that access to affordable health insurance evades more and more Americans every year and we have a dysfunctional and overly bureaucratic system of paying for our medical care. It is also true, the American healthcare system ranks number one in "responsiveness", is the undisputed world leader in medical technology and innovation and has the best patient outcomes in a variety of disease categories.

As practicing physicians, we have a unique perspective and understanding of the many critical issues that need to be addressed in order to achieve affordable, sustainable and responsible health insurance reform. Please use this page as a resource for learning more on the the many critical areas of healthcare reform.

Policy Positions of Docs4PatientCare

The Physicians Prescription for Health Care Reform

Our Prescription was delivered to the House of Representatives as a cover letter to HR2, the bill that repealed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Law.

We urge all physicians to read the Prescription carefully. If you agree with these proposals we recommend that you forward the Prescription to your Representative and Senators using this letter or compose a personal letter with the Prescription attached.

Policy on Medical Information Technology

Read our statement concerning this evolving technology and the federal government's plan to expand its role in our healthcare system.
