YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -

A small group of people opened the conversation about what repealing the Affordable Care Act would do to local communities.

"For Our Future," a Democrat-funded super PAC, organized a meeting to discuss how Youngstown and its surrounding communities would be impacted if Senate Republican leaders pass their revised health care bill.

That group said changes in the Affordable Care Act would leave millions without health coverage and worsen the opioid crisis. Those addicted or dependent on opioids are said tobe left out of the proposed bill.

Youngstown Councilwoman Lauren McNallysaidshe believes changes in the ACA would have a negative impact on people in the Mahoning Valley.

"If people can't afford medical care, they don't go get it," McNally said.

Youngstown City Council passed a resolution opposing any changes to the Affordable Care Act.

Senate Republican leaders decided to delay a vote on their new health care bill until after the July 4 recess.
