Public health professionals strongly oppose repeal of Obamacare

In a letter to members of Congress yesterday, the American Public Health Association (APHA) strongly opposed attempts to repeal or weaken the Affordable Care Act.

"Any effort to repeal the ACA without ensuring a viable and immediate replacement plan is unconscionable and will put the health of the American people at an unacceptable risk," wrote APHA Executive Director Georges C. Benjamin, MD.
