description
Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) is a U.S.-based professional organization of physicians and medical students that advocates for a single-payer national health program (described as "improved Medicare for All"). PNHP develops and publishes policy proposals and research reports, conducts surveys (for example on moral injury among clinicians), and issues analyses on topics such as Medicaid managed care and Medicare Advantage. The organization organizes chapters and student groups, provides member resources (webinars, slideshows, handouts, speakers bureau), runs campaigns and trainings to mobilize clinicians, and engages in legislative and public advocacy intended to advance single-payer health reform and related state and federal initiatives.
