The Senate's bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act has been unveiled. Take action at NACCHO's website.
The "Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017" includes the following:
- Elimination of the Prevention and Public Health Fund starting in FY2018 (October 2017)
- Cuts in Medicaid, including phasing out of the Medicaid expansion starting in 2020
- A shift in responsibility for Medicaid to the states and counties ― leaving governors, state legislatures, and local governments to make tough decisions about the health of people in their communities.
Please call or write your Senators today and make your voice heard. NACCHO has all the resources you need at our
Legislative Action Center.
Thank you for all you to do to protect the public's health.
