Press Statement: Health Care For All Responds to Passage of the Federal Reconciliation Bill

In response to the U.S. House and Senate’s passage of the budget reconciliation bill, Amy Rosenthal, Executive Director of Health Care for All issued the following statement:

“Threatening health care access for individuals and families across Massachusetts is unethical, immoral and represents a flagrant disregard for people’s health and wellbeing. This bill makes the largest cuts to Medicaid in the program’s history and attempts a back door repeal of the Affordable Care Act. As a result, the uninsured rate in Massachusetts is at risk of doubling, leaving more than 400,000 people with no health coverage. We will stand in coalition with our fellow advocates and in partnership with state officials to do what Massachusetts has always done, come together to fight for access to coverage, care and health equity in the Commonwealth.”
