John --
We're reaching out because we saw you haven't signed our petition in support of the 27.5 million Americans who are unable to get health insurance right now.
As a global pandemic ravages our country, it has never been more important to expand health care access -- but instead, Donald Trump and his administration have opted not to open health insurance enrollment for the Affordable Care Act.
There are tens of thousands of uninsured people in Alaska alone -- which has one of the highest uninsured rates in the country. Dr. Al Gross and Dr. Monica Gross are ready to do whatever it takes to protect our communities -- they've even volunteered to bring their medical expertise to help with the COVID-19 pandemic, if needed.
Meanwhile the federal government is sitting back and doing nothing to help the millions of people at risk. Their inaction will kill Americans across the country. It will kill Alaskans right here at home.
It's past time for the Trump administration to act. Sign your name right now and demand they reopen health care enrollment immediately.

It doesn't take a doctor to understand that access to affordable health care is critically important during a pandemic. It's common sense. Add your name and join Dr. Al Gross in demanding that Donald Trump reopen enrollment for the Affordable Care Act.

John, imagine this:
It hasn't been ideal, but you've been getting by without health insurance because your budget was already tight. But now you're starting to worry about the coronavirus outbreak.
One major medical bill will bankrupt you.
Unfortunately, you can't get health insurance because the enrollment period is closed.
For too many Americans -- 27.5 million to be exact, and many here in Alaska -- they don't have to imagine. This is the reality they are facing.
And Donald Trump had the chance to right this wrong by opening a special enrollment period -- but he chose not to.
After decades working as a surgeon, Dr. Al Gross has seen the devastating effects medical emergencies have on uninsured families. One medical bill bankrupting a household. Or people putting off care until it's too late.
John, you don't need to be a doctor to see how disastrous it will be if the government turns their back on the millions of Americans who need health insurance in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
It's not too late for the government to start prioritizing the health and well-being of all Americans -- and that starts with re-opening enrollment in the ACA exchanges. Sign our petition right now and demand the Trump administration open a special enrollment period so people can #GetCovered.

In Alaska alone, over 10% of the population is uninsured.
If the Trump administration refuses to extend the enrollment period, it will have devastating repercussions across the country -- but the effects will be even more calamitous here in Alaska, where thousands of people are already having to choose between paying astronomical insurance premiums or putting food on the table for their families.
Now more than ever, in the middle of a global pandemic, we cannot afford to bar access to health care enrollment.
There are lives on the line, and the clock is ticking.
Dr. Al Gross is doing his part by signing up to volunteer if needed during the emergency. Now, it's time for Donald Trump and his administration to do their part.
The Trump administration has the power to make this right -- and we're calling on them to do so and open a special enrollment period. Add your name in support of the millions needing insurance today.

Dr. Al Gross is a commercial fisherman, surgeon, and a lifelong Alaskan. He's provided medical care to patients in the depths of the wilderness, prospected for gold, and faced off with multiple grizzly bears and is still here to tell the tale.
In these uncertain times, it's never mattered more to send a doctor to Washington who can take on the failed status quo and deliver a real prescription for change.
