“The Graham-Cassidy bill preys on underserved communities … a clear and present danger”~The National Institute for Reproductive Health 

“Graham-Cassidy would devastate the Medicaid program, increase out-of-pocket costs, and weaken or eliminate protections for people living with pre-existing conditions.” ~ American Public Health Association

“It could disrupt access to health care for millions of the more than 70 million Americans” ~Federation of American Hospitals

“This bill harms our most vulnerable patients”~The American Psychiatric Association 

The following institutions are vehemently opposed to the Graham/Cassidy proposal: 

• American Medical Association
• The American Psychiatric Association 
• The American Public Health Association
• The National Institute for Reproductive Health 
• Federation of American Hospitals
• AARP
• American Academy of Pediatrics, 
• Association of American Medical Colleges, 
• American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 
• Every one of the 50 Medicaid directors who represent the 50 states…(a consensus.)
• and so on…
