Washington, D.C. – Today, a coalition of leading non-partisan, non-profit patient advocacy organizations issued a sharp rebuke following Senate passage of H.R. 1, warning of devastating coverage losses nationwide.
“The Senate-passed bill represents a profound setback for millions of patients and their families, by threatening their ability to access care and undermining their financial stability.
“This legislation will terminate health insurance for an estimated 17 million people by gutting Medicaid, dismantling key provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and failing to extend the enhanced tax credits. Instead of building on the historic coverage gains of the past decade, this legislation walks away from our nation’s commitment to affordable coverage by erecting barriers to care and destabilizing insurance markets. Its ripple effects will affect all Americans.
