Dear Catherine,
The battle for health care continues to get uglier with each passing day. After weeks of fighting against legislation that aims to weaken protections, raise premiums, and pull the plug on our access to quality health care, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has called for a vote for the total repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The vote, scheduled for tomorrow, is a play to force the hands of Senators who have promised for years to repeal the ACA, but have opposed the recent proposed legislation for fear of the deep cuts to care that their constituents would face.
Even if you have called before, your Senators need to hear from you now more than ever. They need to be reminded that they should vote no, and that they have the support of their constituents in that vote. We cannot allow Senators to vote yes, especially not out of fear of backlash from constituents. Remind them that you stand behind them and ask that they ensure your continued access to the lifesaving health care options that you deserve!
We have provided a brief script. Please reach out and make sure that your voice is heard! We must stay focused and work against any bill that will raise costs and lower coverage.
Thank you for your tireless efforts in this fight to come together and protect our health care.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Franklin
