IFPTE Opposes ACA Repeal Bill
IFPTE letter calling on Representatives to oppose the ACA repeal bill. “HR 1628 will leave 24 million people without health coverage, make it very difficult if not impossible for States to replace federal Medicaid dollars, lead to the loss of State government jobs, and be yet another corporate tax giveaway to already profitable heath industry companies. IFPTE urges you to oppose this bill.”
