In this video, Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. addresses healthcare CEOs with an unfiltered message about the growing disconnect between corporate decision‑making and real patient care. He calls out the ways consolidation, insurance practices, and profit‑driven policies have increasingly overridden clinical judgment, delayed necessary treatment, and added barriers for both patients and physicians. His remarks reflect a broader concern he has raised in congressional hearings, where he has warned that major insurers and intermediaries too often put profits ahead of patients and undermine the autonomy of medical professionals.

USSM is fully aligned with the concerns Congressman Murphy highlights. Our model was created precisely to preserve physician independence, restore clinical decision‑making to the people who actually deliver care, and protect patients from the downstream effects of consolidation and profit‑first healthcare structures. As pressure on independent physicians continues to grow, this message underscores why physician‑led organizations like USSM are more important than ever. We are committed to supporting practices that want to remain independent, maintain control over patient care, and ensure that medical decisions stay where they belong, with physicians.
