Trump administration’s latest attacks on health care hurt women and families

These decisions directly attack the health and economic security of women and families, and they certainly have nothing to do with evidence-based medicine. The patients I serve in the South and patients across this country need more access to quality, affordable health care services. They need the Affordable Care Act, they need compassionate abortion care, and they need access to contraception without co-pays.

Doctors have seen what care was like before the ACA, and we do not want to go back.

We want to be able to treat all of our patients in the way that is best for them—we don’t want their care to be limited because they cannot afford it. My colleagues and I implore policymakers to stop these attacks on the health and freedom of women and families and treat health care as a human right.”
