DPC Attendees

We need you to take action!

A TROJAN HORSE bill (https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/2999 ) we defeated last year has been slipped into 3rd #CoronaVirus Bailout Bill to regulate Direct Primary Care practices nationwide.

Buried on page 171 of 247 pages of the 3rd Coronavirus bill is Sec. 4403 - Tell your Senator to delete it all!

Read the analysis of original bill we defeated last year that they slipped back in -

We must get the Senator Bill Cassidy bill S.2999 OUT of the Corona Virus legislation and put the Senator Ted Cruz bill S.3112 IN.

Hello 

Victories have been rolling in this year thanks to the supporters, large and small, that have fueled our efforts for more than 10 years. Now we need your help if you value our work.

Direct Primary Care - The membership model of medicine is now NATIONAL POLICY.

It was my honor to be invited by The White House to Charlotte, NC in September, and to be seated directly behind President Trump as he laid out his vision for returning health care back to American patients.  

In the press release from The White House, number 2 on the list of ENSURING BETTER CARE is "improve access to direct primary care arrangements that cut out the middleman and cut red tape to enable patients to spend more time with their doctors."  

Institutional Change - Years of showing up has made our Foundation's doctors the "go to" citizens for help in writing and reviewing draft legislation.

We have made dozens of trips to Washington, D.C. and State legislatures to teach and testify contributing to the expansion and protection of DPC across the land.

The Free Market - The third leg to our stool is growing the adoption of DPC by docs and showing the savings to patients and the marketplace - nationwide.

For years, facing hostility in the prior administration, we launched a ground game, focusing on local policy victories while at the same time, training physicians in our annual DPCconference.com to build a movement.

We have been promoting the adoption of DPC in business (a great employee perk that improves the owner's bottom line) - even helping small hospitals save millions! (Important video at https://youtu.be/b26Ej9LWYHE )

The platform and influence the Docs 4 Patient Care Foundation has today is borne of long fought battles, sacrifice of time and finances, and the ongoing donations of those with the vision to commit for the long, nation shaping, goals before us.

This has taken its toll and in the midst of our victory, we are struggling to meet the opportunities before us simply for a lack of financial fuel.

Please consider keeping us in the fight with a one time gift or even better - a monthly commitment that allows us to budget the year.

Debunking the ‘Trump Doesn’t Have a Health Care Plan’ Myth

Democrats Talk, President Trump Walks the Walk on Healthcare Reform

Katarina Lindley - Oct 14 https://www.insidesources.com/democrats-talk-president-trump-walks-the-walk-on-healthcare-reform/

Hello 



I want to give you a glimpse behind the scenes like I did as former host of the Doctor's Lounge radio show for the Docs 4 Patient Care Foundation - of which I am proud to be Vice President of the Board.

Whether you know us from

• our conferences training up a generation of doctors in the Direct Primary Care practice model


• the dozens of Op-Eds and white papers nationally published OR


• Our through our victories in Washington, DC and many States 

All these success have been built over more than a decade by a core team of physicians donating thousands of hours and making dozens of trips to Washington D.C and State capitols —all through their own personal sacrifices of money and time.



Our platform has grown over three presidential administrations. We are the “go-to” health care group in crafting legislation & policy that protects the doctor-patient relationship.



We even have been key in moving Direct Primary Care to becoming a National Policy goal of the executive branch.



We have succeeded beyond our financial capacity.  Personal sacrifice is no longer enough.  Our staffing and infrastructure lacks the funds to go any farther.



We need you to step up and commit to monthly support. No matter any amount.



When we get the call to brief legislatures about the front lines of medicine, we want to be able to drop everything and go.



When forces against health care put a Trojan horse in pending legislation, we need to be there to sound the alarm on a moment’s notice.



Help us continue shifting American healthcare back to sanity.  No matter who wins the election we will keep up the fight but we need your help.  



Please go to https://www.d4pcfoundation.org/donate/ right now and pledge  just $25 a month.  Every donation brings us closer to the goal.
