Today, the Senate voted to move forward their efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
In response to the vote, Physicians for Reproductive Health’s Board Chair, Dr. Willie Parker, issued the following statement:
“I am disappointed that the Senate rushed ahead with their efforts to repeal the ACA, without the benefit of listening to the medical professionals, patients, and advocates who understand what’s at stake for our nation’s health. Every single version of a repeal bill that the Senate has raised so far would be a disaster, and no amendments will be able to fix this fundamentally broken approach to health care. As a physician, I hope the Senate will ultimately defeat any attempts to enact a bill that will devastate our health system and cost tens of millions of Americans their health care.”
