About 300 health providers in Maine are publishing an open letter on Friday to U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, asking her not to repeal the Affordable Care Act without a full replacement.
Dr. Connie Adler, a family physician in Farmington, says rural Mainers especially are in danger of losing health care, "because there are a lot of rural Mainers who are self-employed, or work part time, or seasonally, who don't qualify for employer-paid health care."
Adler says none of the proposed replacement plans ensure just and comprehensive coverage, and she's particularly concerned about low-income patients, as well as those with pre-existing conditions.
