On November 27, the American Academy of Family Physicians posted a Speak Out urging Congress to protect access to health care coverage for all Americans and retain the student loan interest deduction in any final tax reform bill.
The AAFP released a statement on December 1, noting increasing alarm regarding the trajectory and content of the Senate bill. The Senate bill repeals the individual mandate, which is projected to increase premiums in the individual market and cause 13 million people to become uninsured.
The House bill would eliminate the Student Loan Interest Deduction that family medicine residents and students rely on to help finance their education.
The AAFP is concerned that these harmful provisions will end up in a final tax bill. Speak Out today to urge the removal of these provisions!
