The patients that benefit the most from Direct Primary Care (DPC) are those with chronic medical problems that require regular follow ups, those with anxiety and those with both.
We usually get labs, generic meds and basic x-rays, ultrasounds, etc. for less than half of what they usually pay OOP.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is ousting all members of a key CDC vaccination advisory committee and replacing them with his own picks.
The move appears to contradict a pledge he made during his confirmation process.

ACOG is deeply disappointed by HHS’s move to drop COVID-19 vaccine recommendations in pregnancy. The science is clear: COVID-19 remains dangerous in pregnancy and vaccination protects both patients and newborns. The vaccine is safe and protects families. Read our full statement: buff.ly/OGue7sO

Hunger is a policy choice. By cutting food assistance programs like SNAP, Republicans are choosing to let folks go hungry. Let’s be clear about that.
