Please send the following email ASAP to the list of Senators and Congresspeople below - or call their offices in the morning TOMORROW. Feel free to edit the wording in any way you see fit - in fact it's encouraged. But please no "CAPS" and no foul language or accusations or nastiness - it won't help!. Be sure to address it to "The Honorable ....." and sign it. (yea, I know calling some of them "Honorable" could make you hurl) Thanks in advance for whatever you can do. I appreciate your help.
THE LIST:
Your two Senators in Washington (find them at senate.gov)
Charles Schumer, Minority Leader (senate.gov)
Mitch McConnell, Majority Leader (may need to call)
Your local Representative in Congress (congress.gov)
Nancy Pelosi, Minority Leader (may need to call)
Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House (may need to call)

With such a repeal, millions of people would stand to lose access to medical care at the very time that it is needed most. In my opinion, such loss would return the system of medical care to a point when insurance companies controlled access to care - an unacceptable system that was largely responsible for increases in costs before ACA was implemented and which also was largely responsible for the loss of millions of lives and livelihoods due to lack of health care and/or inability to pay the enormous costs.
Please vote NO if repeal of the ACA comes up for a vote on the floor. I understand that the ACA needs some changes or "tweaks" to make it more effective, but a complete repeal of the law is not the answer.

(13,616 posts)YUK, but I made sure to ohrase it that if they do this before trump even moves out of trump Tower, where he can talk abotu the repeal AND replace he kept promising, the GOP would own this one hundred percent. I also reminded him that seniors do vote in Florida.
