One phone call. One minute.
That’s what we need from you to defeat a new proposal to change the current health law that could be devastating for cancer patients and survivors.
As soon as tomorrow, the U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on another major overhaul of the current health law. Every vote counts, including the vote of your Member of Congress.
This new proposal could result in cancer patients and survivors:
- Being denied health coverage since cancer would be a pre-existing condition
- Paying triple or quadruple their current premiums
- No longer having coverage for lifesaving cancer screenings like mammograms and colonoscopies
Please take one minute and leave a message at your lawmaker’s office. It’s as easy as 1-2-3.
Step 1:
Call Representative Cedric Richmond (New Orleans residents) at (202) 225-6636.. Check here for a link to to look up contact information for other members of Congress.
Step 2:
Leave the following message. You’re always welcome to add your personal story, but it’s not required.
"My name is [your name] and I'm from [city]. I'm calling to ask you to vote NO on the new version of the American Health Care Act because it could lead to the elimination of protections related to pre-existing conditions, harm cancer patients and survivors, and make healthcare unaffordable. Thank you."
