America’s Largest Doctors Group Just Condemned The Republican Health Bill
American Medical Association blasts House Republicans for putting millions at risk.
The nation’s largest doctors group on Thursday strongly slammed House Republicans for turning back the clock on protections for patients with pre-existing conditions.
“The bill passed by the House today will result in millions of Americans losing access to quality, affordable health insurance and those with pre-existing health conditions face the possibility of going back to the time when insurers could charge them premiums that made access to coverage out of the question,” American Medical Association (AMA) President Andrew Gurman said in a statement.
Gurman continued by saying that while Obamacare needs improvements the AMA is ready to work on improving it.
“The AMA urges the Senate and the Administration to work with physician, patient, hospital and other provider groups to craft bipartisan solutions so all American families can access affordable and meaningful coverage, while preserving the safety net for vulnerable populations,” he said.
Republicans in the House on Thursday passed a bill that will take health insurance away from at least 24 million people.
