Access to Care

2026 Advocacy Priorities

Where We Stand

The American College of Physicians has a long-standing goal of increasing access to care in the United States. We support the goals of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and advocated for its passage. We continue to advocate for improvements to the law as we also advocate for comprehensive reforms to achieve universal coverage, including consideration of a single payer of a public option, so that no one lacks affordable coverage. We support efforts to help control the rising cost of prescription drugs and other health care services. We support increased availability and coverage for mental and behavioral health services. We support access to reproductive health care. And, we support protecting access to care for immigrants to the United States.
