In a letter to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), the American Medical Association (AMA) pushed back against any "significant changes" to the Affordable Care Act or Medicaid programs.

The influential AMA told senators those changes "potentially threaten the ability for millions of Americans to obtain and retain coverage. It is these citizens, constituents, and patients who should be at the center of this debate."

The House passed the Republican ObamaCare replacement plan, dubbed the American Health Care Act, earlier this month. A Congressional Budget Office analysis of an earlier version of the bill estimated that 24 million fewer people would be insured under the GOP plan.

The AMA is one of dozens of medical groups that have opposed the GOP plan. Republican senators have expressed concerns about the House bill and have met behind closed doors to construct their own version of the legislation.

"Proposals should maintain key insurance market reforms, such as coverage for pre-existing conditions, guaranteed issue, and parental coverage for young adults, as well as ... adequately fund Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program, and other safety net programs," the AMA wrote.
