In conjunction with its Scientific Assembly in Washington, D.C., the AAFP is holding a family physician rally on Capitol Hill in September to communicate its support of health care system reform to the U.S. Congress. According to the AAFP, affordable, high-quality health care coverage for everyone can be achieved only with liability system reform, workforce reform to produce more primary care physicians, and payment system reform to encourage students to go into family medicine.

The rally will be held at 10:00 a.m. on September 27 and will include speeches from AAFP leaders. Congressional leaders also have been invited to speak. For more information, visit http://www.aafp.org/online/en/home/publications/news/news-now/insideaafp/ 20060705rallywantsfps.html.
