Bill Mooney, head of the Westchester County Association, is the latest in a growing list of public policy advocates and medical professionals lining up to oppose the health care bill passed by the House of Representatives last week.

Mooney led a roundtable of health care professionals and lawmakers Monday and vowed to do all he can to defeat the bill before it becomes law.

He says he believes the state stands to lose at least $7 billion and perhaps thousands of jobs in the health care sector in Westchester County.

"Hospitals will suffer dramatically. It's up to us to fight for our hospitals. We're fighting for our patients too," says Mooney.

Rep. Nita Lowey, who was also at the roundtable, voted unsuccessfully against the House bill that aims to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.

Rep. Lowey says she hopes whatever comes out of the Senate will have both Democratic and Republican ideas.

"Let's make it better, the repeal part doesn't make any sense. Let's have a bipartisan bill," says Lowey.

Anthony Viceroy, the CEO of WESTMED, says politics aside, he would advise the Senate to craft a patient-focused law that puts the people before politics.

"I think both sides of Congress could agree that patients need to come first," says Viceroy.
