SENATE DEMS SEND A LETTER TO REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP

“We write to express our concerns with the plans to use a fast-track budget process to repeal the Affordable Care Act in the coming weeks. Repealing this law will have immediate negative impacts on the people we represent and the economy as a whole.
