America, Patients Deserve Health Care Access and Patient Choice.
Why are 100 Million People
Still Waiting for Care?
For patients and health care providers, the days of business as usual are over. Today, over 100 million people from urban, suburban and rural communities are going without the primary, mental health and other care they deserve. Physicians (MDs, DOs) are choosing much higher-paying specialties over primary care, and thousands more baby boomer physicians (MDs, DOs) are retiring. Patients need more choice and access, health care systems need lower costs, and taxpayers need a health care system that is affordable.

Meet the Future of Health Care
highly skilled health care professionals
The good news is thousands of highly skilled health care professionals with proven track records — physician associates (PAs), primary care and psychiatric nurse practitioners (NPs), nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), pharmacists, physical therapists (PTs) and others — stand ready to meet the existing demand for care.
Proudly Delivering Care to Millions of Patients
These health care providers are proud to deliver care in billions of patient visits each year and could do even more if outdated, protectionist barriers to patient care were removed. In fact, these professions have worked equally alongside each other and physicians (MDs, DOs) — putting their lives on the line to help patients through the pandemic — and have done so independently given that the practice restrictions, where they still exist, were waived over the past few years.
physician groups spend millions Limiting Access to Care
Some physician groups spend millions annually to limit your access to other health professions. It’s time for our nation to take notice and permanently adopt laws that build a patient-centered health care system. A system that values patients, provides them with health care choice and access and gives our nation the best health outcomes in the world at an affordable cost.
Why Do Physician Groups Want to Control Your Health Care?
PAs, NPs, PTs, CRNAs, pharmacists and other health care professionals serve our nation’s patients with compassion, dedication, transparency and high-quality care. Ask yourself and policymakers, why do some physician groups advocate controlling health care for millions of patients even though they don’t have the workforce to care for them? They say they do it to “protect patients,” but the real outcome is limiting access to care for millions in attempt to protect a crumbling monopoly over your care.
