Primary Care Patient Protection Act Makes Necessary Health Services Affordable

“Americans will have access to essential primary care and preventive health services under the Primary Care Patient Protection Act of 2018, introduced this week by U.S. Representatives Brad Schneider (D-Illinois) and Elise Stefanik (R-New York). The American Academy of Family Physicians applauds the introduction of this bill. Requiring high-deductible health plans to include a set of primary care visits independent of cost for patients will bring necessary health services within the financial reach of millions of Americans.
