A growing group of GOP senators, led by Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, are pledging support for a horrific new bill......
Like earlier proposals to replace the Affordable Care Act, this bill would also gut Medicaid—the health care program for seniors, people with disabilities, and those earning below a living wage—by approximately $1 trillion. About half of the clients that come to the Center for health services depend on Medicaid to receive services that they could otherwise not afford.
Here are the contact numbers for the three key senators:
Senator Lisa Murkowski’s phone number is: 202-224-6665
Senator Susan Collin’s phone number is: 202-224-2523
Senator John McCain’s phone number is: 202-224-2235
A sample script for callers is: "Hello, I am gravely concerned about the introduction of the Graham-Cassidy bill, which will cause millions of people to lose health care coverage, and will especially affect seniors, women and underserved communities."
The American people have spoken – we do not support any repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Has Senator [NAME] taken a position on the Graham-Cassidy bill yet? [If yes], What is it? [Yes or No]: Please tell Senator [NAME] that I urge her/him to oppose the Graham-Cassidy bill and ANY further attempts to dismantle healthcare and cut Medicaid.
