The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) adopts a policy of healthcare for all. They recognize that health is a basic human right for every person, and that this right includes universal access to timely, acceptable, and affordable healthcare.

In 2016, the AAFP will launch a study of various payment models to inform discussions on how to reform the U.S. healthcare system.
