Let’s Not Forget About Health Care


With all the furore over Comey, let’s not get distracted from the important issue of health care. Mitch McConnell’s Senate working group is busy plotting to push the AHCA through while the press are all excited about Comey’s testimony. McConnell hopes to fast-track the bill with little or no transparency or debate by implementing Senate Rule 14, a process which allows the bill to skip the committee stage.

Action:

• Call your Senators and protest the implementation of Senate Rule 14 for AHCA.  Demand a full public debate and insist that the bill not be passed by the use of reconciliation.
  

• Fax Mitch McConnell to make the same points: http://faxzero.com/fax_senate/M000355
  

• The Senators on the working group are: John Cornyn, Orrin Hatch, Lamar Alexander,  Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Rob Portman, and Cory Gardner. If any of these are yours, call them to make the same points. Feel free to call them even if they’re not yours.
