WASHINGTON -- The Cleveland Clinic is cutting another tie to President Donald Trump, canceling plans to hold its 2018 Florida fundraising gala at the Trump-owned Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach.

"After careful consideration, Cleveland Clinic has decided that it will not hold a Florida fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago in 2018," the hospital system said in a statement. "We thank the staff of Mar-a-Lago for their service over the years."

The Clinic and its CEO, Toby Cosgrove, had taken criticism for continuing to hold the annual event there.

...

Leading medical organizations and the nonpartisan Congressional Bydget Office say the Republican repeal or replacement proposals would leave at least 22 million Americans without health coverage.

With that specific criticism, a group of medical students, health professionals and liberal interest groups launched a fresh petition drive last week to try to persuade the Clinic to abandon Mar-a-Lago.
