Dear lawmaker,
I am writing today to let you know that I oppose any attempt to repeal and replace the ACA, through legislative or executive action, or through the courts. Next week, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals will hear a case that will determine whether or not the ACA will continue as the law of the land. I urge you stand up for the ACA and the health care of your consituents.
Repeal of the ACA would have a devastating impact on the delivery of health care services for West Virginia and the country at large. The dangers to West Virginia health consumers include:
- 162,000 West Virginians could lose health care coverage.
- Loss of health care protection for West Virginians with pre-existing conditions.
- Huge potential insurance rate increases for West Virginia families.
- Eradication of the Medicaid expansion which provides 159,000 West Virginians with health care
- The loss of hundreds of millions to West Virginia’s rural hospitals for uncompensated care.
I hope that you will sign onto a congressional resolution that will protect this important law from further attacks in our courts.
