Bread for the World Urges Senate to Reject AHCA
“’The American Health Care Act will push millions of people into hunger and poverty,’ said Rev. David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World. ‘The AHCA takes away health insurance from tens of millions of Americans and drives up costs for millions more. This is not what Americans were promised.’ At least 24 million people would lose their health care coverage under the AHCA. The AHCA would cap state Medicaid funding and eliminate the Medicaid expansion. States would receive less money to cover children, the poor, the elderly, and the disabled, resulting in the rationing of health care. Approximately 68 million Americans receive health insurance through the Medicaid program.”
