Welcome to the Patients’ Action Network, sponsored by the American Medical Association (AMA). This website is an excellent resource for finding out all the critical health care issues facing Americans, including medical liability reform, the Medicare crisis, and more.

The Patients’ Action Network fights for patients’ rights by advocating for meaningful health care reforms, lower health insurance costs, and more access to affordable, quality health care. We make sure your voices are heard in Washington, D.C. and in the state capitals.



MEDICARE UPDATE: Great news! Congress heard the voices of millions of patients and physicians and voted to override President Bush’s veto and protect the health of America. H.R. 6331, the Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers Act of 2008, has become law!

See how your representative and senators voted, then please take a moment to thank those lawmakers who voted “yes” for standing up for doctors, seniors and our military families. Use our Patients’ Action Network toll-free hotline at (888) 434-6200.
