We visited AdventHealth in Kissimmee to hear firsthand about how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) helps many local residents access quality care.
They made it clear: Cuts to Obamacare would harm patients, lead to a spike in emergency visits by the uninsured, and put local hospitals in fiscal distress.
