ACP Policy Advocacy - Against Health Care Choices


A passionate hematologist and oncologist with three decades of professional experience, Kenneth D. Nahum, DO, remains active in his field. Through membership in the American College of Physicians (ACP), Dr. Kenneth D. Nahum and his peers can effectively advocate for policies that benefit them.

ACP issues statements on legislature and legal issues that affect physicians, including the recently proposed Health Care Choices plan from the Health Policy Consensus Group. Health Care Choices proposes alternatives to the Affordable Care Act’s payment system, primarily in the form of block grants. ACP, along with many other national advocacy and professional development groups for health care providers, claims that the concepts and policies laid out in the proposal are dangerous and have been repeatedly rejected by the public and legislators.

ACP stands against proposals that would remove Americans from the insurance market and make it impossible for those with pre-existing conditions to get health care. It also advocates against giving insurance companies the ability to deny coverage indirectly through lifetime limits or restrictions on women's health care services.
