Last night, Trump issued an ultimatum to House Republicans: pass the bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act today

Last night, Trump issued an ultimatum to House Republicans: pass the bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act, or he will move on and leave Obamacare in place. This is HUGE: It means we have an opportunity to save the ACA and its crucial benefits, but only if we take action right now, before the House votes on the bill today.

Dial this number right now to be connected to one of your representatives. Tell them to vote NO on the Republican's plan to take away our care:

Call you Representative NOW: 1-866-665-4470

I just e-mailed my representative again...

Dear Representative McSally,

I appreciate your efforts to improve AHCA but your suggestions are really just band-aids that don’t help much. The Medicaid “delay” just puts the most pain after the next Presidential election, CPI-MED+1 just increases the state block grants by 1%, and how much healthcare can a person in the age range where they are most likely to need health insurance buy with $4000 in tax credits? Money they don’t get back until the middle of the following year.

We can do better than this. Look at Senator Sander's universal healthcare plan. With our collective bargaining power, we could all have healthcare and all pay less like they do in the other modern nations. It would require raising our taxes, but it would cost less individual healthcare plans (not to mention the added expense of the deducible.) Be a hero to your constituents and the whole country. Educate the other representatives and your constituents. You can make a difference in all of our lives!

Thanks for keeping up the good fight,
Jana Segal
