View in browser Upcoming Event April 3 – Primary Care Check Up: Why It Can Be Hard to Get an Appointment and How to Fix It Primary care has historically served as the backbone of our nation's health care system, with patients often maintaining a relationship with a primary-care provider to guide their care over a period of years. Yet, the U.S. emphasizes primary care less than other high-income countries. And a shortage of primary-care providers and changes in the marketplace pose significant challenges for many patients seeking to access primary care, with implications for the nation's health and health costs. On Wednesday, April 3 at Noon ET, a panel of primary-care experts will join Larry Levitt, KFF's executive vice president for health policy, for a 45-minute discussion on the current state of primary care in the country, including the extent of the shortage, how it varies geographically and for different populations, the impact on people's health, and what can be done to address it.
