For Patients

Click here to get started...

There is nothing more personal than the health of you and your family.  Doctors are under attack - and it's impacting their ability to treat you as a patient.  Increased pressures from insurance companies and bureaucrats are rationing care, increasing dependency on government and mandating doctors comply with electronic health records that endanger patient privacy.

It is time for patients to stand together with their doctors, become educated and empowered surrounding their medical rights and freedom.  We believe the solution to improving health care over the long haul is to increase direct communication between the primary players – patients and doctors, and REMOVE government from the picture.

Patient Power Alliance is YOUR voice for medical freedom.  Join a network of other patients and doctors throughout the country…become educated, informed and spread the word.

DPMA in the News!

August 1st, 2012

Written by Loren Heal

Physicians reacted with shock and anger to the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the President Obama’s health care law, according to poll data and the leaders of activist groups, which are continuing to fight the law in court and via political action.

According to Kathryn Serkes, cofounder of the Doctor Patient Medical Association, a recent nationwide poll sponsored by her organization found 83 percent of U.S. physicians have considered leaving their practices due to President Obama’s law.

“This not just something that started today, and it’s not something that just started with passage” of Obama’s law, said Serkes. “There have been developments in medicine that have made it very, very difficult and have put some seriously different pressures on doctors. But this bill has certainly brought things to a head.”
