The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) is extremely disappointed in the Representatives who cast an ‘aye’ vote for blatantly ignoring the realities of this bill. The AHCA will hurt people with disabilities through higher health care costs, less coverage, and a greater risk of institutionalization.https://www.aapd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/aapd-placeholder.png1200675
