Health Care (gotta keep at it)



Indivisible recommends contacting your senators’ legislative aides who deal with health care issues. Let’s follow Indivisible’s recommendations for action.

Action:

1. Look up your senators’ staffers here: http://www.indivisibleguide.com/resource/senate-health-care-staffers

2. Call the number listed for each of your state’s senators, and ask to speak to the named staffer.

If your senator is Republican:

  • make it clear that you will not tolerate closed-door deliberations about an issue that so greatly affects you and everyone you know;
  • ask how your senator plans to make sure that this issue is discussed openly; and
  • say that you will not tolerate an end run, using Reconciliation, to force a vote in the Senate.

If your senator is a Democrat, ask how he/she plans to stop the Republicans from deliberating behind closed doors and using Reconciliation to force the bill through.

3. Follow up your call with an email (relevant staffers’ email addresses also on the Indivisible site), restating the same points.

N.B. Be polite to staffers. Not all of them have drunk the Kool Aid, and they’re just trying to get experience in politics or improve their resume.
