Opinion: Derailing Health Law Would Hurt Californians

Efforts in Congress to repeal the federal health reform law or cut funding for its implementation represent "nothing less than an attack" on California's "most vulnerable citizens," Frank Alvarez -- commander of the American GI Forum -- and Carla Saporta -- manager of the health program at the Greenlining Institute -- write in a Modesto Bee opinion piece. They add, "Like any law passed by Congress, the Affordable Care Act isn't perfect, but it will do a lot to help working Americans and small businesses cope with the cost of medical care."
