Medical Students at the University of Rochester stood in silent protest Monday against repeal of the Affordable Care Act, joining in a nationwide protest called #Protect Our Patients.
Students say they’ve been serving homeless people in Rochester with basic medical services funded by Obamacare, and don’t want to see it repealed before they’re even doctors.
About 100 students at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry have signed a petition against repeal of the ACA, which is a prime goal of the new Republican-led Congress.
