plan of action - july 15, 2017

Health Care

Mitch McConnell has unveiled his new and totally NOT improved health noncare bill.

Here’s what’s extra-specially bad about it:

1. Severe Medicaid cuts.
   
2. The Cruz Amendment, which would allow plans which discriminate against pre-existing conditions.
   
3. Funds included for opioid crisis, but this is just a palliative measure designed to shut people up, as it comes nowhere near making up for the funds lost in the Medicaid cuts.
   

This bill is a patchwork of ideology, greed, folly, short-sightedness, callousness, ignorance, and cynicism.

Action:

1)  Call the four moderate GOP senators who have stated their opposition to the bill and reiterate your pleas that they continue to oppose it.
    Dean Heller
    Susan Collins
    Rob Portman
    Shelley Moore Capito

2)     Call your own senators again.
