Assessment
D4PC is a group of practicing physicians uniting to represent the interests and concerns of both patients and doctors in the healthcare reform debate. D4PC endorses the concept of needed healthcare reform, but recognizes it can only be accomplished by proceeding in a cautious and responsible manner. Their recommendations seek to enable them to reach this goal without requiring the nationalization of the entire American healthcare system.
But, should medical professionals be involved in such political organizations?
