Proud to be a voice for patients

The Coalition to Protect Patients’ (CPPR) is made up of thousands of health care professionals who are dedicated to improving the quality and availability of healthcare for all Americans.  

The ongoing battle to shape our nation’s healthcare did not end with the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.  Members of CPPR have worked tirelessly over the past year on behalf of patients, but our work has just begun. Our members have been strong supporters of health system reform, but we have serious concerns about many aspects of the new healthcare law. That is why we will continue to advocate on behalf of patients.  We support tax credits, health savings accounts, and vouchers – for those who truly cannot afford health insurance.  We also believe that personal ownership of health insurance policies will make each patient a better, more informed advocate for their care and make insurance companies more competitive and offer more services.  We are concerned about the new law’s emphasis on expanding government programs and government control over healthcare decisions. We will continue to be a resource for our elected representatives and are committed to working with them to ensure that any health system reform is reform that works for all patients.
