Saturday, February 25th

Today there are rallies all over the country in support of the ACA and universal healthcare.  The closest one to Philipstown is at 10am at the Brooklyn office of Congressman Donovan (details here).

You can still speak out on healthcare without leaving home.

• The Dept. of Health & Human Services has proposed new rules around the ACA. There is a public comment period until March 7^th on rules that will increase premiums, reduce benefits, reduce networks, and increase deductibles. 
  
  Add your comment, then share this link everywhere to encourage other folks to do the same: https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=CMS-2017-0021-0002 
  

• Paul Ryan has said he plans to have the House vote on repeal before the Easter recess in early April. 45 has said a replacement plan is coming in March.  A draft of the House Republican repeal package was published yesterday on Politico. A Kaiser Health Tracking poll on the ACA released yesterday shows 48% of Americans favor the ACA, with 42% opposing it. 
  
  
  Tell Paul Ryan that a majority of Americans favor keeping the ACA. 
  
  
  Since Ryan has blocked his office phones and fax numbers, and is turning away people who show up to deliver petitions, people are mailing post cards to his home address and district offices saying NO to defunding Planned Parenthood, NO to repealing the ACA, and NO to privatizing Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security!
