Durbin Says ACA Repeal Could Devastate Nursing Home Residents

The US Senate is planning on taking a vote this week on the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. 
 
US Senator Dick Durbin says a repeal would be disastrous with one Republican measure to replace the ACA ending health coverage for 22 million people another for 32 million. Along with those changes, Durbin says a pending massive cut to Medicaid funding would hurt seniors and families caring for elderly members.
 
 
Durbin also stressed that he wants to see the votes go through regular order in the Senate so debate and committees could be held on the possible changes.
