Dear Health Advocates,

Late Saturday night, Senate Republicans narrowly passed a motion to proceed, allowing debate on their version of the reconciliation bill to begin. While they cleared this first procedural hurdle, a number of Republican senators continue to voice concerns about the health sections of the bill that make deep cuts to Medicaid. Senate leadership hopes to call a final vote on their bill late tonight or early tomorrow morning. Thus, it is imperative that you continue to contact your Senators and encourage them to vote NO.

(866) 426-2631 or (202) 224-3121 (Capitol switchboard)
Don’t forget about district offices!

For call scripts, see these resources compiled by our partner Community Catalyst.

If the Senate passes their version of the bill, we will need to immediately turn our attention to the House to encourage a NO vote there.

Tomorrow, as Congress proceeds with their plans, please join Families USA, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), Community Catalyst, and NHeLP, on Tuesday, July 1 from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. ET to walk through the latest intel and updates around the health-related provisions of the reconciliation package, its impact, and strategies for next steps. Register here.
