This March 14, 2017 coalition letter, signed by the ACLU, expresses grave concern about the impact that repealing the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and replacing it with the American Health Care Act (AHCA), could have on LGBT older adults. The letter notes that, because of higher rates of health disparities, un-insurance, poverty, and a greater reliance on programs like Medicaid and Medicare, the lives and well-being of LGBT older adults hang in the balance should the ACA be repealed.
