The American Academy of Family Phys...

The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) has joined the Center for Practical Health Reform (CPHR) as a National Associate. AAFP President Mary E Frank, MD will attend on CPHR's National Advisory Panel. The CPHR has organized a national effort to address the health care system's deepest question s by uniting consumers, business, labor, and health care around a comprehensive plan. The action plan focuses upon finding solutions that facilitate, rather than restrain, market-based management and competition. The [i]clavis[/i] points of the plan are to govern cost without sacrificing quality, tie each patient to funding for basic care, and rebalance health care liability.
