The PCC is grateful to Sen. Ron Wyden, Sen. Mike Crapo, the United States Senate Committee on Finance and lead staffers Marisa Salemme and Conor Sheehey for starting an important conversation about how we can deliver better chronic care. But as lawmakers weigh these important changes, it's essential they place primary care at the center of their efforts.
