Please ACT to Protect Medicaid and the ACA

Have you called your Senators yet to urge them to vote NO on the Senate health care bill?  If not, please call now!  202-224-3121

Please find at least one more person to make a call as well – your spouse, mother, father, sister, brother, adult child, child’s teacher, neighbor…

 It’s fine to call on the weekend.  Leave a brief message: 

“My name is ___ and I am a constituent living in (state), and I urge you to oppose the Senate health care bill.”

You can stop there or explain why this is important to you:

“I have child [grandchild, neighbor, student…] with special health care needs [name diagnosis if you wish], and this bill will harm my child and family by

[as applicable] --

·        cutting Medicaid and/or

·        removing protections for families with high medical expenses.

Please don’t hurt my child and family.”
