Support entire bill; creates a commission to integrate federal research, prevention, and clinical efforts on diabetes and related metabolic and autoimmune diseases. Better Care Reconciliation Act: Oppose entire bill; repeals the Affordable Care Act (ACA) through budget reconciliation by repealing key provisions of the current law including Medicaid expansion, the ACAs current tax subsidy structure and the Prevention and Public Health Fund. The legislation would drastically change the financing structure of the Medicaid program through a per capita caps mechanism. The Association opposes efforts to repeal the ACA without simultaneously enacting a replacement bill that offers equal or greater coverage and consumer protections. This legislation did not meet those standards. Graham-Cassidy ACA Repeal Legislation: Oppose entire bill; the bill would eliminate the ACA tax credits, cost-sharing reductions payments, and Medicaid expansion coverage funding, and create a block grant program to provide funding to states. This is extremely concerning because by eliminating all of these programs and turning them into one block grant it would cut hundreds of billions of dollars in funding leading to huge losses in coverage. The legislation also repeals the individual and employer mandates, and would roll back ACA consumer protections which would lead to higher costs for those with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes.
