ACTION ALERT – HEALTH CARE

ACTION ALERT – HEALTH CARE
June 13, 2017

Legislation that would repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) – called “The American Health Care Act” – is about to be up for a vote in the Senate.

“The American Health Care Act” was developed in secret and is being rushed to passage. It will rip apart our healthcare and revoke coverage for millions of Americans while raising costs for millions more.

The “American Health Care Act” is un-American. It will increase costs for seniors and those with pre-existing conditions, while slashing assistance for lower-income households in obtaining coverage. It will also threaten the essential care that women need. In fact, the only real winners under this new legislation are the big interests and the wealthiest Americans. Hundreds of billions in tax breaks are included for the wealthy and the pharmaceutical and insurance industries.

Tell our Senators that means that there will be fewer people covered, weaker protections and higher costs for Americans.

Call today!

Senator Claire McCaskill – (202) 224-6154
Senator Roy Blunt – (202) 224-5721

The League remains committed to ensuring that Americans have the coverage and access to care that they need to take care of themselves and their families. We will not stand by while members of Congress dismantle protections for the health and well-being of the American public.

Stand with the League today and tell Congress that their plan to “replace” the Affordable Care Act is unacceptable.
