Moving Toward a More Affordable Healthcare

All are welcome, please join us!

 The number of Hawaii’s primary care physicians (PCPs) not accepting new Medicare patients is on the rise. New Medicare enrollees have to wait longer for doctor visits. In addition, those primary care physicians who continue to accept Medicare are retiring earlier out of frustration with healthcare administrative increasing burdens and low reimbursement rates.

Who will be left take care of us?
