On May 4, 2017, The US House of Representatives voted to pass the American Health Care Act (AHCA) with a vote of 217 to 213. The Korean American Coalition-Los Angeles opposes this legislation, because in its current form, the bill represents a denial of the real and pressing needs of the most vulnerable in our society.
With the bill now moving to the Senate, we urge those who share our concerns to contact your Senators and urge them to reject this legislation.

Sample Letter to Senators for the American Health Care Act (AHCA)
Dear [Senator],
As your constituent, I am writing you today to voice my opposition to the American Health Care Act (AHCA) and urge you to reject this bill in its current form. We believe in the need to protect our most vulnerable citizens including seniors, low-income individuals and families, and the disabled who are at great risk of losing access to basic healthcare. This bill would reduce coverage for millions of Americans and result in significantly increased out of pocket costs for the oldest and sickest members in our communities. Please show your support for all Americans in need of affordable access to comprehensive healthcare by rejecting this bill.
Best,
