DPC Action Applauds the Introduction of the Personalized Care Act for Healthcare Transformation!!!

DPC Action proudly announces its wholehearted support for the groundbreaking Personalized Care Act.

This transformative legislation, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), promises to revolutionize the healthcare landscape by reforming Health Saving Accounts (HSAs).

As actively practicing physicians ourselves, the Board of DPC Action firmly believes that the Personalized Care Act represents a significant step forward in empowering patients, liberating employers, and freeing physicians from the constraints of the current healthcare system.

The key highlights of the Personalized Care Act are as follows:

1) Empower Patients: The Act seeks to expand the cap on contributions and broaden the uses of pre-tax HSA healthcare dollars, granting patients the freedom and control to seek out the coverage and high-quality healthcare services that best suit their needs. By placing patients at the forefront of the healthcare system, this legislation ensures that they regain their rightful place as the central focus, rather than being intermediaries in financial transactions between providers and insurers.

2) Liberate Employers: Through equalizing the tax advantages of individually purchased coverage with employer-provided plans, the Personalized Care Act liberates employers from the burden of serving as de facto healthcare providers. This freedom will allow businesses to redirect their focus toward their core operations and foster economic growth.

3) Free Physicians: By clarifying the use of HSAs for direct patient-physician contracts, the Personalized Care Act levels the playing field for physicians who choose to engage in these direct arrangements. This newfound freedom will liberate physicians from the cumbersome obligations of the third-party payer system and empower them to be true advocates for their patients, rather than mere gatekeepers of insurance company interests. As a result, physician satisfaction will improve, stemming the exodus of physicians from healthcare that is threatening our system.
In light of these transformative reforms, DPC Action calls upon all supporters to take action and reach out to their respective Representatives and Senators to urge them to endorse and support the Personalized Care Act.

Dr. Lee Gross, chairman of DPC Action, states, "We firmly believe that the Personalized Care Act has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by placing the power back into the hands of patients, employers, and physicians alike. It is time for a patient-centric approach, and this Act offers the foundation for such a transformation."

“...improve access to direct primary care arrangements that cut out the middleman and cut red tape to enable patients to spend more time with their doctors.”
-Item #2 in White House Press Release

No matter your political philosophy, this action is a herculean victory for Direct Primary Care.

The Executive Branch has committed to supporting and promoting the DPC practice model that will expand access to direct doctor care to millions of Americas.

The leaders of DPC Action and the Docs 4 Patient Care Foundation have been RELENTLESS in advocating for freeing physicians and directly caring for patients for the past decade.

Tonight, the Trump administration released the emergency use authorization of convalescent plasma through the FDA.

This promising therapy has been used in clinical trials, and on a compassionate use basis for the most critically ill patients in the hospital with coronavirus.

This new EUA allows front line treating physicians to use their clinical judgment for when convalescent plasma is appropriate for their patients.

It frees physicians to use their clinical experience and evolving scientific data to make treatment decisions as a right to try for their individual patients. It no longer requires permission on a case by case basis to use this potentially life-saving treatment.

We are thankful to the Trump administration for advancing this critical treatment and relying on the judgement of physicians.

Please donate plasma and help save a life.

BREAKING - TROJAN HORSE in CoronaVirus Bill

“Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste”
A bill intended to relieve the suffering and dying of Americans should not become a vehicle to pass unpopular legislation.

This is exactly what is happening in the massive bill currently rushing through the Senate intended to provide emergency assistance to those affected by the Coronavirus.

Buried on page 171 of 247 of the 3rd Coronavirus bill is Sec. 4403.

This section, of a bill intended to assist those suffering from Coronavirus, incorporates the unrelated S. 2999 “The Primary Care Enhancement Act” . S. 2999 is a bill which had little chance of passage on its own as it set dangerous new precedents and confounded the very Direct Primary Care (DPC) doctors it claimed to help. Its incorporation in his broader bill is inappropriate.

Please join me by URGENTLY contacting your Senators and ask that they remove this harmful language. Insist that during this time of National Emergency they throw away politics as usual and instead pass a clean bill.

Find your Senator’s number using the following link and ask them to remove Sec. 4403 -
