Five days left to submit your comment to tell this administration to put patients first.

John, we have just ONE MORE DAY to share our health care stories and demand the Trump-Pence administration stop its dangerous rule and put patients first – once and for all. Whether you’re submitting a comment for your friend who has had an abortion, or your family member who is trans or gender non-conforming, or your mom whose first language isn’t English, or your co-worker with a chronic illness, or your grandparent who is on Medicare… all of us need to come together and let this administration know that they can’t roll back our rights.

Share your story by TOMORROW, August 13, to stop the Trump-Pence administration from rolling back our health care rights. [[link removed]}]

Thank you for everything you do for our health care,
Gretchen

Subject: Demand Trump & Pence Stop Their Proposed Rule to Roll Back Health Care Protections

"John, our records show you’ve had an abortion, we can’t help you.”

“I won’t treat trans people — John, please seek care somewhere else.”

“John, since you are pregnant out of wedlock, we can’t cover your prenatal visit.”

You should NEVER be faced with these words in the doctor’s office, during an ER visit, or in any other health care setting. Thanks to the Health Care Rights Law, a key provision of the Affordable Care Act, discrimination like this is illegal. But if the Trump-Pence administration’s proposed rule that tries to gut this law is finalized, discrimination could be introduced into the health care setting and patients would suffer the consequences. We have only FIVE MORE DAYS to flood this administration with comments demanding that it stop this dangerous rule.

Tell the Trump-Pence Administration: Stop the Roll Back of the Health Care Rights Law [[link removed]}]

Help us stop this assault on our health care rights. We need you to take action today, especially if you’ve been afraid of being judged or shamed at a doctor’s visit or had a provider dismiss your pain or symptoms because of your race or gender.

Share Your Story! [[link removed]]

The proposed rule targets abortion and gender identity specifically, but its harmful provisions could sanction discrimination in virtually all facets of health care. We can’t let that happen. Our health care matters, no matter how many times this administration tries to say otherwise.

The Department of Health and Human Services is obligated to read every single comment that is submitted. Submit your comment by the August 13 deadline and demand the administration puts patients first today!
