DUH! This has been true for decades and yet such a much greater investment in primary care has been ignored by EVERY PAYER all during this time. Even most of the 'new efforts' today by the Feds and insurance companies fall short! Time for change! JUST DO IT!
“To get the primary care we need, we need to pay for it” - key message from Matt Press, MD, MSc, @ACPIMPhysicians member, at today’s briefing on Capitol Hill, supported by @BPC_Bipartisan @commonwealthfnd @PCPCC

He is had a positive impact on numerous health care issues over his career, but this may be @Surgeon_General most important work. Proud of his leadership and courage.

Once again, MA plans are not serving patients very well. Time to reign them in and provide better support for Traditional Medicare (but with needed payment reform and greater flexibility).
.@KFFHealthNews reports #MedicareAdvantage plans are failing patients, notably in rural areas. Plans limit access via narrow networks, deny care through restrictive prior auth & offer inferior coverage. This profits-over-people agenda is bad for patients.

New #GrahamCenter policy one-pager looks at primary care access in areas of the U.S. with aging populations. As aging populations require increased care for chronic conditions, the primary care workforce must increase and adapt. bit.ly/4b0Rmta

With a strained primary care workforce & an underfunded, undervalued mental health care system, it’s unsurprising that behavioral health services have emerged as an urgent need. See how @aafp advocates for improved access to mental health care. bit.ly/4ajm80s
Larry is a true ambassador for Family Medicine. Congratulations!

The latest issue of @FPMJournal includes an informative rundown of how the @aafp helps state chapters, advocates, members, policymakers and others identify opportunities to increase primary care investment. aafp.org/pubs/fpm/issues/202…
Important article about racism in our health care system.
