Conservatives for Patients' Rights (CPR) is a health care advocacy group founded by Rick Scott in February 2009 and most active in the lead up to the 2010 elections.

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.[1]

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.
