The American Academy of Family Physicians(AAFP) and the Herndon Alliance (a nonpartisan coalition of more than 200 health-care provider organizations including the AARP, Mayo Clinic and Families USA) have produced this video featuring the doctors your family relies on for care. They are urging Americans to 'Heal Health Care Now'. from Brave New Films
