MA Primary Care Alliance for Patients, commonly referred to as MAPCAP, is a grassroots organization working on the ground in Massachusetts to support H.1370 (An Act Relative to Massachusetts Primary Care for you filed by Representative Rich Haggerty), S.3141 (An Act Relative to Primary Care for you filed by Senator Cindy Friedman), and H.2537 (An Act Relative to Primary Care access filed by Representative Greg Schwartz).
PC4You will fix the Primary Care system in Massachusetts by increasing access to Primary Care, making primary care free for the patients of practices that opt-in (no copays or deductibles), and will dramatically decrease health inequities in MA.
PC4You will improve the overall health of residents and at the same time, will decrease the overall cost of healthcare in the state, in part by reducing unnecessary visits to the ER and preventable hospitalizations. By investing in Primary Care through PC4You, we will get more for less.
Our Guiding Principles
ACCESS TO CARE
NO Copays or Deductibles in Primary Care; increased access to your PCP
AFFORDABILITY
No out of pocket expenses for Primary Care; insurance rates stay the same or decrease
HEALTH
Better health for you and your family due to high quality primary care

EQUITY
Decrease health inequities and help to dismantle systemic racism in health care
PERSONALIZED CARE
Shift to payments that are per person instead of per visit: value over volume
COLLABORATION
Incentivize team-based care, comprehensive services, and a focus on patients
Primary Care Should Be a Public Good for Every Resident of Massachusetts
Every resident of Massachusetts deserves equitable access to high-quality primary care. By making primary care a public good, we ensure that preventive, affordable, and patient-centered healthcare is accessible to all. It is more than just a right; it is a necessity.
​
We are currently working to pass H. 1370 (PC4You), legislation that will improve both health and equity while decreasing costs. By advocating for this landmark health policy, we can build a healthier Massachusetts together for all of our communities— regardless of background or income.
