560,000 physicians and medical students oppose the American Health Care Act
Washington, D.C. (May 4, 2017)—“Our organizations, which represent over 560,000 physicians and medical students, are deeply disappointed that the U.S. House of Representatives today passed the American Health Care Act (AHCA), an inherently flawed bill that would do great harm to our patients. We urge the Senate to promptly put aside the AHCA, and instead work with our organizations to achieve real bipartisan solutions to improve affordability, access, and coverage for all.

The ý (ACP) today praised this morning’s decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upholding a lower court ruling halting the proposed $54 billion insurance merger between Anthem and Cigna. The ruling over the potential impact on competition and insurance prices is a big “win” for patients and the physicians who care for them.
Amended AHCA makes bill even less acceptable than it was before it was modified
