ABOUT US

We are a grassroots organization of doctors and medical students who believe that comprehensive healthcare reform is an urgent need. We created Doctors for Obama to make the voices of our colleagues heard in this important national conversation on healthcare. We seek to build a coalition of health professionals that will support the healthcare plan and presidential candidate best suited to meet the needs of our patients and our country.

We believe that Barack Obama's healthcare plan is right for our patients, right for our medical system, and right for America. It offers the best hope for improving quality, controlling health care costs, and guaranteeing access to health care for all Americans. We also believe that Barack Obama is the leader most capable of taking on special interests and advancing a serious, bipartisan effort for healthcare reform.

"We now face an opportunity - and an obligation - to turn the page on the failed politics of yesterday's health care debates. It's time to bring together businesses, the medical community, and members of both parties around a comprehensive solution to this crisis."

- Barack Obama, May 29, 2007

Please join with us in this crucial effort. Join Doctors for Obama, and sign our letter of support for Barack Obama's healthcare plan. Ask your friends and colleagues to join in this movement. We need as many voices as possible speaking together to let America know that doctors are involved, engaged, and supporting the Obama Plan for healthcare reform.
