The latest update from #MNLeg 🏛️
As legislative deadlines pass + timelines tighten, MAFP members are speaking up on a range of issues, including:
✔ Direct #primarycare
✔ Gun violence prevention
Here’s what’s happening + what’s ahead: https://t.co/9mb0JzfKwK #MAFPAdvocacy
📣 Today, MAFP member Najaha Musse, DO, testified in support of HF 1724.
The bill provides important clarity re: direct primary care agreements + supports patient choice & allows family docs to explore new models of delivering care.
Thank you, Dr. Musse! #MNLeg#MAFPAdvocacy
🩺 Family medicine isn’t one path — it’s a field full of possibilities.
In a recent Shape Your Path session, family physicians shared their career journeys + tips for building a career you love in family medicine:

Curious what healthcare geeks think about the idea of a short-term response to the ACA premium subsidies discussions: put $100 per month into an HSA that can only be used for a Direct Primary Care monthly subscription, and the balance of the expected subsidies to be used as originally planned for premiums.
Having DPC should lower the plan's cost, which should allow premiums to be lowered rather than raised.
Thoughts? What am I missing?
