The TPPF Take: Immigration reform must begin with border security.

Direct Primary Care

What to Know: In Montana, state lawmakers are again trying to legalize the practice of direct primary care, with a bill similar to one that was vetoed by a Democratic governor—twice.

The TPPF Take: Montanans would benefit greatly from direct primary care.

“The Direct Primary Care model addresses many of the challenges facing primary care by reducing administrative burden and allowing primary care providers to spend more time with their patients, resulting in improved satisfaction for providers, better care for patients, and the potential to reduce costs for patients and the healthcare system,” says TPPF’s David Balat.

No more. Our ideas are too important to wait on the space and sympathy of legacy news outlets. The Cannon Online is our answer with the intent of amplifying conservative writers and ideas to keep Texas Texas and America the most free and prosperous nation in the history of the world.”
