Coalition Letter Urges Senate to Vote No on Motion to Proceed

CHICAGO, July 25 -- The American Osteopathic Association issued the following news release:

Our organizations, which represent over 560,000 physicians and medical students, strongly urge the Senate to vote no on the Motion to Proceed on repealing, and/or repealing and replacing, the Affordable Care Act with any alternative that will roll back coverage and patient protections and eliminate access to care for tens of millions of patients. This is dangerous and unacceptable. We urge the Senate to continue to work with our organizations to achieve real bipartisan solutions that bring affordability, access, and coverage to all.

Sincerely,

American Academy of Family Physicians

American Academy of Pediatrics

American College of Physicians

American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
