At Stake: The Future of Health in our Nation

14,000 Americans are losing access to a doctor every day. Doctors across the country are finding it harder and harder to provide the care patients need. As doctors and medical students, we're fighting for a health care system that ensures that all Americans receive access to high quality care - the kind of care that we, as physicians, want to be delivering to our patients.

Get Involved today.

A First Hand View of a Broken System

As doctors, we see shortcomings of our health care system every day. We seem them as patients, denied the care we prescribe; as families losing access to their doctors; and as a system that takes our time away from our patients and from doing what we've trained to do.

Come read stories from physicians on the front lines and share yours too.

The Voice of Physicians in Your Community

Doctors for America has over 15,000 members in all 50 states who are getting involved to build a better health system. For too long, the voices of physicians in our broken system haven't been heard.

Why We Fight

  • 14,000 of our patients lose coverage every day
  • We'd rather spend time with our patients - not dealing with insurance company red tape
  • Patients are denied coverage every day because of prior illness
  • Insurance companies, big pharma, and other special interests spend billions of dollars lobbying for their interests.

Isn't it time the country heard from physicians too?

A Critical Voice in Health Reform

If health reform is to succeed, doctors must be involved. For too long, the voice of physicians in our broken system hasn't been heard from. At Doctors for America, we work to bring physicians voices to the decision making process in Washington.

Make sure your legislator has heard from a doctor. Our action center makes it easy.
