We're a growing non-partisan grassroots organization made up of patients, healthcare providers, advocacy groups, and engaged citizens who are concerned about the current national healthcare debate.

For more than thirty years I practiced medicine in New Orleans and was the president of the American Medical Association (2003-2004) and I've always fought for my patients. And now a new fight is upon us.

Here in the United States, we have the best healthcare system in the world.  Surgeons can perform heart surgery on a baby that is still in utereo.  Trauma doctors can save a person who has been badly injured in a car crash.  And oncologists have become miracle workers for for families across the country.

People come from all over the globe to see our doctors and other healthcare providers and get the care that their countries' lack. 

The Coalition to Protect Patients’ Rights wants to make sure the U.S. remains the leader in healthcare.

But now there are some healthcare reform proposals in Washington that would actually weaken our healthcare system.  They could lead to fewer treatment options for patients, and stifle medical research and innovation into the medical miracles of tomorrow. 

I’m asking you to join me and work together to make sure that Washington doesn’t enact legislation that would hurt the healthcare system that has saved and improved the lives of millions of our citizens.

Please take some time to look around our website.  If you have any questions, please contact the Coalition and if you would like to join me, please sign up now.

Thank you so much for visiting the Coalition to Protect Patients’ Rights.
