In a letter to members of Congress and selected congressional staff, NAUH shared its perspective on the American Health Care Act, the legislation Congress is considering as a means of repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act.

The letter highlights several aspects of the proposed law NAUH appreciates and points to aspects with which it disagrees, including its failure to restore Medicare DSH payments to pre-Affordable Care Act levels, its continuation of Medicaid DSH cuts in Medicaid expansion states for two more years, and a methodology for indexing future growth in the program’s spending that NAUH believes will leave Medicaid underfunded in the future.
