I share the goal of ACP-ASIM of an America where everyone can obtain access to the quality health care they need. ACP-ASIM has called on all presidential and congressional candidates to commit themselves to either creating or supporting a plan within their first year of taking office following the 2000 elections to assure that all Americans have health insurance. ACP-ASIM is the nation's largest medical specialty organization and the second largest physician group. Membership comprises more than 116,000 internal medicine physicians and medical students.
Internists are the major providers of medical care to adults in America.
