WASHINGTON, DC, July 18, 2017 -- Today, Tuesday, July 18th at 12pm ET, a group of mayors representing the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM) will hold a telephone press conference to, given the imperiled fate of the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA), discuss a way forward through a Senate partnership with mayors across the country in creating a bipartisan and more effective health care bill, rather than move forward with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s plan to completely repeal the existing law.

New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, President of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, will lead the call, and will be joined by Dayton, OH Mayor Nan Whaley; Reno, NV Mayor Hillary Schieve; Bangor, ME Mayor Joe Baldacci and Columbia, SC Mayor Stephen Benjamin in calling for Senators from their respective states to consider the impact a repeal bill – with no replacement – would have on millions of Americans - and make a local and national case for a way forward with input from bipartisan mayors across the country, and without Washington politics. Mayors will discuss how any Senate bill must ensure coverage and treatment for Americans with addiction, avoid cuts to Medicaid that would put our country’s most vulnerable at increased risk and devastate community health and municipal budgets.
