Doctors for America

[5] Beyond healthcare, Doctors for America has advocated for gun control, including an assault weapons ban.

[6] The group called gun violence a “public health epidemic.”[7] Doctors for America has endorsed defunding the police to reallocate the money toward social workers through the People’s Response Act.

[9] Some commentators stated that this large coalition of doctors (the organizations collectively represented nearly 450,000) provided an important counterweight to the American Medical Association's organization's initial opposition to health reform in 2009;[10] later AMA statements supported health reform in principle.

[21] In October 2022, President Joe Biden nominated Murthy to be the U.S. representative on the World Health Organization's executive board.

[23] Doctors for America has also maintained financial partnerships with other major organizations, including the Center for American Progress[24] and Planned Parenthood.
