These policy priorities are deeply disturbing and completely out of step with our basic values as Jews and as Americans.
“We will vigorously oppose this draconian legislation and fight all efforts to roll back the progress achieved through the passage of the Affordable Care Act. The attacks on our society’s most vulnerable individuals must stop.”
