AMA urges members of Congress to oppose AHCA

| 3 Min Read

Citing projections that millions of Americans would lose health insurance coverage if the American Health Care Act (AHCA) were to become law, the American Medical Association (AMA) today urged Members of Congress to oppose the amended legislation.

The AMA will continue working with Congress to increase the number of Americans with quality, affordable health insurance, but this bill, as currently drafted, pushes policy in the wrong direction. The nation’s largest physician group also encourages all members of Congress to engage in an inclusive and thorough dialogue on appropriate steps to improve the health system.
