CAFP Health First Responders Corps Formed


Many family physicians are committed to health care reform, and more than 35 of them have told CAFP they're willing to be part of a Health Reform First Responders Corps.  When inaccurate charges about health reform legislation are made, such as the government will now pay for euthanasia, or even require it(!), family physicians will provide comment saying "It just isn't so, Joe," or words to that effect. 

Not all family physicians support current reform efforts, and all are entitled to their opinions, of course.  But the CAFP and the AAFP, after careful consideration and review of pending legislation, have determined the majority of the principles for health care reform supported by each organization have been met by the provisions of HR3200.  Civil discourse is welcome.
