Put forth by Senators Lindsay Graham (R-SC), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Dean Heller (R-NV), and Ron Johnson (R-WI), the bill fails to meet the principles that AACNhas continued to stand behind throughout the health reform debate, which聽include: ensuring patients have access to quality聽health care聽with affordable coverage options, regardless of pre-existing conditions; upholding the principles of essential health benefits, and preserving Medicaid's ability to protect our nation's most vulnerable populations. 聽
