AMA urges Senate leaders to focus on sustaining insurance coverage

As the Senate begins consideration of health system reform, the American Medical Association (AMA) urged Senate leaders today to keep in mind patients at risk of losing their insurance coverage. “Significant changes to the ACA or Medicaid program potentially threaten the ability for millions of Americans to obtain and retain coverage. It is these citizens, constituents, and patients who should be at the center of this debate,” wrote AMA CEO James L. Madara, MD.
