Conservatives for Patients' Rights (CPR) is a health care advocacy group founded by Rick Scott in February 2009 and most active in the 2009-2010 US electoral cycle.

According to KFF Health News, Scott started the group with $5 million of his own money to “promote free-market health care reform solutions” and lobby against President Barack Obama’s proposal for a government-run health care option.

Scott has stated that CPR has an intention of putting pressure on Democrats to enact health care legislation based on free-market principles.

CPR opposed the broad outlines of President Obama's health care reform plan, and hired Creative Response Concepts, a public relations firm, to produce advertising in support of this message.
