Health Care


Trump is Tweeting away again about providing health care for all that’s going to be cheaper for everyone. The only things that are cheap are #45’s words. His claim that revised legislation will guarantee coverage for those with pre-existing conditions is a lot of hot air. You’ll get coverage if you happen to have thousands of dollars burning a hole in your pocket. The AARP reckons that if people with pre-existing conditions are forced to get coverage through state high-risk pools, the price tag for one person could be as high as $25,700 annually. Insurance only makes sense when high-risk and low-risk individuals are in the same pool. And of course, insurance doesn’t make sense anyway, and we should go to an expansion of Medicare.

Action:

Keep the pressure on!!!!!!

• Call your Member of Congress again at both numbers and loudly protest the lack of protection for people with pre-existing conditions under the proposed ACA repeal-and-replace. State high-risk pools are NOT a substitute for laws preventing insurance companies from discriminating.
• If your MoC is Republican, ask them to work with Democrats and NOT the Freedom Caucus to find a viable solution to the health care crisis.
• Contact the White House asking the President to work with Democrats, NOT the Freedom Caucus.
• Here’s a list of Freedom Caucus members. If your MoC is one of them, maybe move into their office and breathe down their neck 24/7? Just a thought.
