Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) headlined their press release " 'Health law upheld, but health needs still unmet:' national doctors group," saying:
Modest PPACA benefits don't remedy "our health care crisis."
Unresolved issues include:
- excluding a public option and universal coverage;
- millions left uninsured;
- many more underinsured;
- unaffordability for most people "because of high co-pays and gaps in coverage that leave patients vulnerable to financial ruin in the event of serious illness;" and
- rising predatory costs.
