“If we do not increase access, patients don’t have anywhere for them to go to get the services that they need.” Care is only helpful if patients can reach it. Bo talks about why having services close to home matters.

A few votes really CAN make the difference! Local elections are often decided by much smaller margins than people realize. Every person who shows up to vote has an opportunity to help shape their community's future. Healthcare is one of the most important issues facing Arkansas families, and the leaders we elect can influence access to care for years to come. Research your candidates. Understand where they stand. And most importantly, VOTE! #PatientsFirstPAC #EveryVoteMatters #ArkansasVotes #LocalElections #HealthcareMatters #PatientsFirst #Vote2026

Do you know where your candidates stand on healthcare? Before you cast your vote, take a little time to learn about the people asking to represent you. Do they understand the challenges facing rural hospitals? Do they support access to independent healthcare providers? What are their plans to make healthcare more affordable for Arkansas families? These are important questions worth asking. An informed voter is a powerful voter. #PatientsFirstPAC #KnowYourCandidates #InformedVoters #ArkansasHealthcare #PatientAdvocacy #Vote2026

Good health coverage should mean patients can afford to see their doctor, fill their prescriptions, receive needed treatment, and understand what they will owe. Patients and families should not be pushed into debt simply because they needed medical care. Patients First PAC puts Arkansas patients first. #PatientsFirstPAC #ArkansasPatients #PatientAdvocacy #HealthcareAccess #HealthcareReform #HealthInsurance #MedicalDebt #PatientsFirst

The cost of healthcare can affect more than a family’s bank account. It can affect their health. When patients cannot afford appointments, medications, tests, or treatment, they may delay care until their condition becomes worse. Affordable access to care is a healthcare issue. #PatientsFirstPAC #MedicalDebt #HealthcareAccess #HealthcareAffordability #PatientCare #PrescriptionCosts #PatientsFirst #ArkansasHealthcare

One unexpected medical bill can create serious financial stress for a family. Patients should not have to choose between paying for medical care and paying for groceries, housing, utilities, or other basic needs. Healthcare should help people get better, not leave them financially devastated. #PatientsFirstPAC #MedicalDebt #MedicalBills #HealthcareCosts #PatientAdvocacy #HealthcareAccess #PatientsFirst #ArkansasHealthcare

Having an insurance card does not always mean someone can afford to use their insurance. When deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and other out of pocket costs become too high, patients may technically be insured but still struggle to afford care. Patients deserve coverage they can actually use. #PatientsFirstPAC #Underinsured #HealthInsurance #HealthcareAccess #HealthcareCosts #PatientFirst #MedicalBills #ArkansasPatients

Having health insurance should give patients peace of mind. But for many Americans, coverage still comes with high deductibles, large out of pocket costs, and the fear of unexpected medical bills. Insurance should do more than exist on paper. It should protect patients when they actually need care. #PatientsFirstPAC #PatientsFirst #HealthcareCosts #HealthInsurance #MedicalDebt #PatientAdvocacy #ArkansasHealthcare #HealthcareReform

What does a PAC do? A political action committee brings people together to support leaders and policies that reflect shared priorities. At Patients First PAC, our priority is Arkansas patients. #PatientsFirstPAC #PoliticalActionCommittee #HealthcarePolicy #ArkansasPatients #PatientAdvocacy

“When health care providers are not involved in policymaking, the voice of the patient is not heard.” Bo believes the people caring for patients should help lawmakers understand how healthcare decisions work in real life.

“They cut it because it was a line item.” Bo explains what happened when an employer removed aquatic rehab from its benefits. A decision on a spreadsheet can change the care an employee can receive.

“Their policy that they’re making matters, and it impacts lives.” Bo shares how a change in rehab coverage can mean getting care close to home instead of traveling miles for it. Those decisions affect real people.

“The prior authorization actually can delay care.” A patient is ready for physical therapy, but treatment may have to wait for insurance approval. Bo Renshaw explains how that wait can affect recovery.

What will your care cost? Justin Voris, M.D., believes patients should know before they say yes. At his Direct Primary Care practice, Dr. Voris tells patients the price up front. He recalls patients bringing him $3,500 bills for four basic lab tests. He says those same tests cost his practice less than $60 to run. “You know everything, what it’s going to cost before you said yes.” Watch the clip to hear why clear prices matter to Dr. Voris.

What does patient first care look like? Care that is timely. Care patients can understand. Care they can afford and access. And most importantly, decisions that begin with a simple question: Does this help the patient? That is what putting patients first should mean. #PatientsFirstPAC #PatientsFirst #PatientAdvocacy #HealthcareAccess #HealthcareReform #ArkansasHealthcare #PatientCenteredCare
