AMA: GOP #PayMoreForLess Repeal Bill is "Critically Flawed"

The hits keep coming for the GOP, as opposition to their #PayMoreForLess repeal bill continues to mount. Check out what the American Medical Association – an organization that knows a thing or two about health care – had to say:

“More than 20 million Americans currently have health care coverage due to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and among the AMA’s highest priorities for on-going health system reform efforts is to ensure that these individuals maintain that coverage. While we agree that there are problems with the ACA that must be addressed, we cannot support the AHCA as drafted because of the expected decline in health insurance coverage and the potential harm it would cause to vulnerable patient populations.”

“As you consider this legislation over the coming days and weeks, we hope that you will keep upmost in your mind the potentially life altering impact your decisions will have on millions of Americans who may see their public, individual or even employer-provided health care coverage changed or eliminated.”
