It will be tougher to pass the healthcare bill in the Senate, but it can be adjusted and pass.

Actions You Can Take Today

There are some vulnerable Republican senators. Write to these senators and tell them we will not accept a healthcare bill that leave millions uninsured because of pre-existing conditions, cuts Medicaid for our most vulnerable, and gives tax cuts to the wealthy. You can use this opportunity to tell them what you would like the bill to address, including a Single Payer system. A recent Pew Research Center survey revealed that more Americans are leaning toward government-sponsored healthcare. Even Trump likes a single-payer system: But single-payer is not the same as public option. Many of our legislators will try to turn a conversation about single payer into one about the public option, which would not cover as much.

Congressman Raul Labrador in Idaho sparked outrage at a Town Hall on Friday when he said that “nobody dies because they don’t have access to health care” Since a study at Harvard showed that approximately 45,000 people die annually due to lack of health care: let’s check in with Labrador about his math: Rep.

And in case you haven't heard, our Congressman, Sean Patrick Maloney, has started the #AdoptADistrict movement in the House, suggesting that Democratic members of Congress hold town hall meetings in Republican districts when the representative for that district won't. Last night, he spoke at a town hall meeting in John Faso's NY-19 district. Hundreds of people stood in line in Kingston to watch congressional leadership in action.
