Proposed ACA Replacement Fails to Meet Criteria to ‘First, Do No Harm’
Washington (March 7, 2017)—The American Health Care Act (AHCA) will have a tremendously negative impact on access, quality and cost of care for patients seen by internal medicine physicians, as compared to current law under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), said the ƹϵεapp (ACP) in a letter sent today to congressional leadership.
Washington (March 6, 2017)—President Trump’s revised executive order on immigration clarifies that those from the 6 designated countries with existing visas, including physicians and medical students, will be able to enter and reenter the U.S. as recommended by ACP. However the order will still open the door to discrimination against Muslims, disrupt medical education, hinder travel by physicians and others, and exacerbate a public health crisis for refugees, said the ƹϵεapp (ACP) today.
