- 2. The bad news… Health care costs are higher in the U.S. than in other countries Only 30% of practicing physicians in the U.S. are primary care doctors. In most other industrialized nations, 50-70% are. Our patients’ health is failing. We can change this if we Make Health Primary. About half of all adults, 117 million people, have one or more chronic health conditions 1 in 5 Americans are unsure if they have the necessary info to make healthy choices. 2
- 5. But there is good news! We can change this if we #MakeHealthPrimary In parts of the U.S. where there are more primary care providers per person, people are less likely to be hospitalized. Let’s rediscover where health is primary Primary care is how we can put the health back in health care. Medicare spending is less for states with more primary care doctors An increase in primary care physicians could reduce health disparities across racial and socioeconomic groups 5

We can create an America where Health is Primary, a place where: • Doctors and patients work together in true partnership • Doctors have long-term relationships with their patients and see and treat the whole person • Technology supports and fosters the connection between doctors and patients • Prevention and health promotion are as important as treating disease • Doctors are working in partnership with community leaders to address individual and population health • Health disparities are reduced by increasing access to primary care • Financial incentives line up with good care and better health outcomes

Editor's Notes
- Talking Points We have all heard the bad news: America has the most expensive health care system in the world, yet we rank almost last among industrialized countries in the health of our people.
- Talking Points But there is good news! There are many examples where family medicine and primary care practices are transforming health care in this country. Individuals and companies across the country are building on major shifts in our system – including the Affordable Care Act, the adoption of the patient-centered medical home, and improvements in technology – to transform and improve the health of patients and communities where they work and live. Studies suggest up to 127,617 deaths per year in the U.S. could be averted through an increase in the number of primary care physicians. Evidence shows that is associated with a more equitable distribution of health in populations.
- Talking Points: A strong primary care based health system leads to the Triple Aim: better health, better care and lower costs. An increase of 1 primary care doctor per 10,000 people can decrease costly and unnecessary care A primary care physician serves as a partner in every aspect of our health, giving patients the power to get and stay healthy. Health improves when doctors & patients spend time together. Primary care doctors make their patient relationships a priority so that they get more face time. We want to create an America where everyone has access to primary care and a long term relationship with their doctor.
- Talking Points: What can you do to help promote this? Send out the message during National Primary Care Week! How you can participate: 1) Hang up flyers provided through the Health is Primary campaign around your medical school, hospital or clinic (link will be provided) 2) Highlight the importance of Primary Care through social media!

- Talking Points for Putting patients at the center of care: Long-term relationships built on trust between patient and physician are the foundation of good health. That’s why primary care practices treat patients and their families as core members of their health care team. Primary care is dedicated to treating the whole person and are seen by their patients as partners. We believe every patient should have access to a health care tam that understands and respects them.
- Talking points for Comprehensive, Coordinated, and Continuous Care: Patients with access to coordinated, comprehensive, and continuous care have better health outcomes. Primary care treats patients, not conditions. We want everyone to have a doctor who sees them as a whole person and provides them with quality, coordinated and continuous care. In primary care settings around the country, integrated teams of health professionals provide patients what they need when the need it in a coordinated setting.
- Talking points for emphasizing prevention and health promotion: Patients with access to primary care are more likely to receive preventive services and timely care before their medical conditions become serious – and more costly to treat. Primary care doctors work with their patients to keep them healthy. We want to ensure that all patients have access to and use regular preventive care.
- Talking Points for improving health equity: Primary care improves health care quality and patient outcomes while reducing health disparities and costs. Primary care doctors want to build a health care system in America where everyone wins.
- Talking points for partnering with public health: Increased collaboration between primary care and public health is key to addressing the biggest health challenges facing our country today. Primary care is working to bridge the gap between personal and public health.
- Talking points for ensuring a strong primary care workforce: Primary care is working across the country to ensure the future of the primary care workforce. This means working to increase the number of primary care graduates while training them to work effectively in teams and in rural and underserved areas.
- Talking Points: I hope you can see how primary care is getting closer to achieving the Triple Aim. But, we need you to help us get there! Follow us to where health is primary and consider a career in primary care!
