The Coalition to Protect America’s Health Care, of which the AHA is a founding member, is continuing to run TV and digital ads urging Congress not to cut hospital care for patients. “Some in Congress want to reduce billions of dollars in funding for patient care,” the ad states. “This will jeopardize patient access to quality care, especially in underserved communities. Congress: Protect patient access to 24/7 hospital care.”
