Tell the Senate: Stop the BCRA!

whatshouldicallabout:

There’s yet another revised Republican health care bill, and it’s a complete nightmare. It guts Medicaid, kicks millions off their insurance, and destroys protections for people with preexisting conditions, bringing us back to the days when insurers could deny you coverage for having health problems.

The vote is coming NEXT WEEK and it’s still very much up in the air. There have been no public hearings or mark-ups, and there’s currently no CBO score. Rushing votes is the new normal for Republicans in the Senate, but we shouldn’t forget that it’s breathtakingly reckless to pass a bill that impacts millions of people and one-sixth of the economy with no expert input or even time to review and discuss the bill.

Several key Republican Senators remain undecided. Call your senators and urge them to vote against this bill!

Here’s your script: Hi, my name is [Your Name] and I’m a constituent from [Your Town]. I’m calling to ask the Senator to vote against the Better Care Reconciliation Act. [If you’re concerned about something specific, like protections for preexisting conditions or Medicaid funding, say so, especially if you’re personally affected!] Thank you.
