Dear Senator McCain:

The Arizona Public Health Association and our members urge you to trust your instincts regarding the process that is being used in the Senate regarding the Graham-Cassidy Bill.

We agree with your previous statements and commitments suggesting that Regular Order is the best policy for debating and passing key legislation, especially legislation that impacts Arizonans in a profound and personal way like access to health care.

As you know, legislation that goes through the time-tested processes of debate and input from all sides is more likely to build buy-in and consensus.  Legislation and public policy built together is much more likely to be successful in the long-run.

Now more than ever, we need solutions to our Nation’s problems that are built together, with input from all.

We thank you for your leadership and your statesmanship.

Sincerely, 

Will Humble, MPH

Executive Director, 

Arizona Public Health Association
