VOTE NO

Speaker Paul Ryan is pushing for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) this Thursday, the anniversary of its historic passage. The Republican bill would strip 24 million people of health insurance, increase costs for older Americans, cut Medicaid for the poor and give tax cuts to the rich and to pharmaceutical companies.

Please call your Congressional Representative today -- Democrat or Republican -- and urge them to vote NO. The call will take less than five minutes of your time. Call 866.829.3298 and you will then be transferred to the appropriate Congressional office after entering your zip code. It is likely you will not speak directly to your congressperson but will talk to a staff person in the office. Tell the staff person that you are a constituent in the district and that you want to urge your congressperson to vote NO on the American Healthcare Act (AHCA). You can use any of the key talking points below.

In the Northeast, we have some of the more progressive House and Senate members in the country. However, they still need to hear directly from us so they will stand strong and speak out in Congress on our behalf. Please call and urge your family and friends to call also.

The key talking points:
1. The Republican bill, "The American Healthcare Act" AHCA, will give millionaires a $50,000 tax break while taxing good health insurance plans like those we bargained for in our union contracts.
2. The AHCA would give pharmaceutical and insurance companies billions in tax breaks while 24 million people lose healthcare coverage.
3. The AHCA would give the richest 400 households $7 million in tax breaks while stealing from the Medicare trust and slashing Medicaid nursing home care.

4. The AHCA would raise the cost of annual coverage, especially for older Americans.
PLEASE MAKE THE CALL TODAY at 866.829.3298.
