GOP Doctors Caucus

With the start of the 111th Congress, I organized the formation of the GOP Doctors Caucus, which brings together Republican physician Members to discuss solutions to improve access to quality health care in the United States.  As families across our nation face higher and higher medical costs, Congress has a responsibility to look for ways to reform our health care system that will decrease costs and increase access to quality care.  As physician Members of Congress, we know firsthand the importance of the doctor-patient relationship and have a unique perspective on the health care discussion.  I look forward to bringing the ideas we discuss in the GOP Doctors Caucus to the House leadership as well as the Health Subcommittee of the Energy and Commerce Committee.  We all recognize that we cannot achieve true health care reform without consensus among patients, physicians, Republicans, and Democrats.  The GOP Doctors Caucus will be on the frontlines in helping to craft health care solutions that offer high quality, affordable coverage within our free market system.
