Assuring Health Care Coverage for All by AAFP

The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) advocates adoption of a plan to assure health care for everyone.

The plan that AAFP proposes for consideration would cover everyone who resides within the U.S. borders and would guarantee basic services and payment of catastrophic health care costs.

Since the 1980s, the AAFP has called for fundamental reform of the US health care system.

People without coverage do not receive health care in a timely manner or in the right setting. As a result, they suffer poorer health outcomes.

Family physicians believe this country must make a deliberate investment in assuring basic health care coverage for everyone.

They believe that a system guaranteeing care would result in a healthier and more productive society.
