  31. Randy MacDonald, Sr VP House Ways and Means Hearing April 29, 2009 • “I will start with the very last question asked by the committee--what is the single most important thing to fix in healthcare? Primary care. Strengthen primary care -- transform it and pay differently using a model like the Patient Centered Medical Home.” • Congressman: “And the second issue?” • “Well, if you don't fix the first issue and do not have a foundation of powerful primary care then you can do nothing else. You have to fix primary care before you can even begin to address a second issue.”

  32. The President Wants More and Stronger Primary Care “It used to be that most of us had a family doctor; you would consult with that family doctor; they knew your history, they knew your family, they knew your children, they helped deliver babies.  How do we get more primary physicians, number one; and number two, how do we give them more power so that they are the hub around which a patient-centered medical system exists, right? ” June 8, 2010, Town Hall with Seniors

  33. Senator Orrin HatchSenate Finance Committee Roundtable Reforming America’s Health Care Delivery System April 21, 2009 “The US is first in providing rescue care, but this care has little or no impact on the general population. We must put more focus on primary care and preventive medicine. How do we transform the system to do this?”
