Dear Friend,
It’s outrageous! Republican leaders in the U.S. Congress are already
talking about rolling back the Affordable Care Act (ACA) – which could not
only cut access to health care for tens of millions of people, but also
could roll back the important consumer protections in the ACA like not
allowing people to be kicked off health insurance just for getting sick.
This is all happening in a time when we need MORE consumer protections
related to health insurance companies, not less. Not okay.^1

What’s happening? When Donald Trump and his Republican cronies in the U.S.
Congress take office in January, one of their top orders of business is to
pass a tax package that gives major tax cuts to the super wealthy and
mega-corporations. How are they planning to pay for this multi-TRILLION
(!!) dollar package? By slashing our health care, specifically the ACA and
Medicaid. The ACA helps millions of people get coverage and includes
important consumer protections that prevent insurance companies from
discriminating against people with what they call “preexisting conditions”
(including things like asthma, high blood pressure, and even pregnancy!).
Medicaid is a critical health care program that makes sure low-income
kids, pregnant women, seniors in long term care, people with disabilities,
and families get the care they need.

The incoming Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress are
literally planning to cut millions of people off from health care in order
to give massive tax cuts to the rich! It’s Robinhood in reverse, and it
cannot happen on our watch! Our leaders should be looking for ways to
protect and enhance health care for everyone—not cut it!

Dear President-elect Trump and Republican Congressional Leadership:
We, as a nation, should be looking for ways to protect and enhance
health care for everyone—not cut it! The Affordable Care Act has helped
bring the uninsured rate to a historic low and implemented important
consumer protections to prevent insurance companies from discriminating
against people with medical needs. Medicaid is a lifeline for millions
of low-income kids, pregnant women, seniors, people with disabilities,
and families in our country. It saves lives, improves the health of our
communities, and boosts our economy.
America’s families will not stand for cutting our health care in order
to continue spending billions of taxpayer dollars on tax cuts for
wealthy individuals and large corporations. We demand: no cuts to
Medicaid or the ACA!

This is important: By trying to take away the ACA, the Trump
Administration would not only kick tens of millions of people off
healthcare, but also seriously undermine the few consumer protections we
have in a time when we need more, not fewer, consumer protections.
Speaking of more: The more people who speak out, the bigger our impact.
Please take a moment to share our action link with your friends and
family.
