description
Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) is an organization of physicians and other health professionals that advocates for a single-payer national health program (described by the group as "improved Medicare for All"). The organization develops and publishes policy proposals and reports, conducts research and surveys (for example on moral injury among clinicians), and produces analysis on topics such as Medicare Advantage, Medicaid managed care, and pharmaceutical policy.
PNHP organizes and supports chapters and student networks, provides member resources (webinars, slideshows, handouts, speakers bureau, and events/annual meetings), and runs campaigns to influence policy and public opinion. It promotes specific legislation (for example the Medicare for All Act of 2025), offers advocacy toolkits (letters to the editor, lobby visit guides, state campaign resources), and engages in media outreach and public education.
