description
Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) is a U.S.-based organization of physicians that advocates for a single-payer national health program (described as “improved Medicare for All”). The group develops and promotes policy proposals and analyses aimed at replacing multi‑payer, insurance‑based systems with a single‑payer program covering comprehensive medical care for all Americans.
PNHP produces research reports and policy briefs (on topics such as Medicare Advantage, Medicaid managed care, pharmaceutical reform, and federal financing), conducts surveys and studies (including work on moral injury among clinicians), and publishes news, handouts, and educational materials. It organizes and supports local and student chapters, member interest groups, events (including an annual meeting), trainings (e.g., grand rounds), and media/outreach to influence legislation and public debate (including resources for contacting legislators and running campaigns).
