Patient advocates: Senate tax bill will deprive Americans of affordable health care
Will bring “harm to patients and families”
A group of 15 non-partisan patient and consumer organizations say the Senate Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed this week “takes yet another step towards undermining the stability of the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) insurance markets.”
The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network; American Diabetes Association; American Heart Association; American Lung association; Arthritis Foundation; Consumers Union; Cystic Fibrosis Foundation; Epilepsy Foundation; Family Voices; Futures Without Violence; Lutheran Services in America; March of Dimes; National Health Council; National MS Society and National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) issued a joint statement that criticizes the Act.
