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!

[Shawn Martin @rshawnm]

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.

@NYSAFP Congratulations!

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).

[Robert Graham Center @TheGrahamCenter]

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. https://t.co/pN2yeU3695

[Alan Schwartzstein @alsdoc1]

This is actually how it works. Believe it.

[AAFP Advocacy @AAFP_advocacy]

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. https://t.co/QmJCckuu4E

Larry is a true ambassador for Family Medicine. Congratulations!

@NYSAFP Congratulations Mark!

[SFurrMD @sfurrmd]

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. https://t.co/6vbqwEQzwM

[Alan Schwartzstein @alsdoc1]

Important article about racism in our health care system.

[Shawn Martin @rshawnm]

How tens of thousands of Black U.S. doctors simply vanished.

Thanks Atul for highlighting the obvious value of Family Medicine and primary care!!

[SFurrMD @sfurrmd]

Today I’m reflecting on Winter Cluster and thinking about how grateful I am to all the @AAFP members who gave their valuable time and brought their leadership energy to Kansas City this past weekend.
