Join the Dec 18 @thepcc.org webinar on strengthening primary care. NASHP’s Executive Director Hemi Tewarson will share insights from the new Primary Care Investment Guide from the HMS Center for Primary Care. Register thepcc.pub/Bolstering-P...

The average increase in out-of-pocket premiums if ACA enhanced tax credits expire is $1,016, so these HSA contributions would be similar to that. But, the average deductible in a bronze plan will be $7,476, so a $1,000 or $1,500 HSA will leave people quite exposed.

The data doesn't lie. Patients with regular access to comprehensive primary care experience better health outcomes, greater patient satisfaction and lower overall costs. Hear more from ACP's @sericksonacp.bsky.social, PCC's latest primary care champion: thepcc.pub/sharierickso...

As PCC's Ann Greiner recently told @ddiamond.bsky.social, CMS’s 2026 MPFS is an important step toward reversing more than a decade of underinvestment in primary care and toward recognizing its central role in keeping folks healthy.

@thepcc.org calls on policymakers to preserve access to the full immunization schedule that reflects both science and medical expertise so that Americans continue to have the freedom to safeguard their health with trusted preventive care. Our full statement: thepcc.org/news/pcc-rea...

For seven years in a row, #PrimaryCare led ACOs in MSSP have generated nearly DOUBLE the amount of savings of their peers. If we want to fix our health care system, it starts with strengthening and empowering primary care.

Opinion: Medicaid cuts will hurt all American children — not just those publicly insured www.statnews.com/2025/07/02/m...

The Senate just passed a budget bill that would gut Medicaid and SNAP — programs millions of kids rely on for care and nutrition. Cuts this big threaten every child’s health. Pediatricians urge the House to reject this bill and protect kids’ care. www.aap.org/en/news-room...

Rather than passing counterproductive and harmful legislation that would undermine efforts to combat chronic illness, @thepcc.org urge lawmakers in both houses to turn instead to a bipartisan approach capable of advancing pragmatic, evidence-based solutions that strengthen Americans’ health.

The Primary Care Collaborative is urging lawmakers to reject harmful reductions in #Medicaid funding. Read our full statement: thepcc.org/news/stateme...

Kevin is right - if Congress proceeds with the proposed changes to #Medicaid, it will make it even harder for patients to get the primary care they need.

A lot of justified attention to devastation for patients and hospitals (esp rural) to be caused by Medicaid cuts in budget bill. But will also pummel an already precarious primary care sector 😫

The cuts proposed by the House this week would be catastrophic for the 70 million Americans who rely on Medicaid for coverage and care -- including primary care.

everything about this new Meta AI bot is so dystopian but for me the AI-generated images of nonexistent donated coats is up there

I am my most anti-populist when it comes to the issue of politician compensation. it's not a good soundbite but members of congress should be paid like $1m annually and honestly I'd be fine with them not having to pay income tax on it, in exchange for total bans on most private investments.
