We are facing challenges in U.S. healthcare like never before. America's future doctors will encounter unprecedented regulations and government interference that practitioners just ten years ago never dreamed of. What happens to tomorrow's doctors depends entirely on what we achieve today in protecting and preserving the doctor-patient relationship, cost transparency, and free market competition.
We stand for tomorrow's doctors to be able to practice medicine without burdensome and stifling regulations, and with freedom to focus on their primary concern: each individual patient. We're glad you're in this with us, and we look forward to getting to work with you in Washington, DC to create an environment where a healthcare system based on abundance, technological excellence, and doctor-patient rights can emerge.
That will entail standing for a bold future.
