WASHINGTON, DC, July 17, 2017 -- Tomorrow, Tuesday, July 18th at 12pm ET, a bipartisan group of mayors representing the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM) will hold a telephone press conference to discuss the negative impact the Senate’s revised healthcare bill will have on towns and cities across the country if it becomes law. The Senate is poised to consider the bill, despite opposition and uncertainty within the majority party, especially from Sens. Dean Heller (Nevada), Jeff Flake and John McCain (Arizona), Rob Portman (Ohio), Shelley Moore Capito (West Virginia), Susan Collins (Maine), Cory Gardner (Colorado) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska).

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 Steven Benjamin in calling for Senators from their own states to consider the impact this bill will have on millions of Americans - and make a local and national case for bipartisan opposition. Mayors will discuss how the Senate bill does not go far enough to ensure coverage and treatment for Americans with substance abuse issues, and how deep cuts to Medicaid will put our country’s most vulnerable at risk and devastate community health and municipal budgets - as clinics and emergency rooms are filled with the addicted, the sick and the uninsured.
