Another election will be behind us shortly. Some will be celebrating. Others will be disappointed. And many will be wondering what comes next.
But here's what I know: Your patients will still need us on Wednesday morning.
They will still need affordable medications, access to quality healthcare, safe and effective treatments, and a healthcare system that puts their well-being ahead of politics and profits.
And they will still need physicians willing to speak up.
At Doctors for America, we don't measure our success by which party wins an election. We measure it by whether patients are better protected, whether science informs policy, and whether the voices of those providing care are heard where decisions are made.
That's why our work doesn't stop when the polls close. In many ways, that's when the next chapter begins.
New lawmakers need education. Returning policymakers need accountability. And patients need advocates who are willing to show up, build relationships, challenge harmful policies, and offer meaningful solutions.
As we enter this season of gratitude, I am especially thankful for the physicians and medical trainees who understand that advocacy is not an extracurricular activity. It's an extension of patient care.
So whatever the election results, I hope you'll join us in doing what DFA does best: showing up, speaking out, and putting patients over politics.
In solidarity,
