I want to make it clear, John: the Big, Ugly Bill that was unilaterally passed by Republicans and signed by Donald Trump will be disastrous for our already broken healthcare system.

More than 365,000 Arizonans will be kicked off their healthcare outright, and thousands more will lose coverage due to rural hospital closures. I’m not being hyperbolic when I say: this will kill people.

Our best opportunity to put a stop to the chaos is by taking back the House majority. To get there, we have to protect every seat we have, including mine here in Arizona’s 3rd. Will you make a contribution right now?

Pregnant women in rural communities are especially at risk here. When cuts happen, OB-GYN departments are usually the first to go, and these services are outsourced to larger hospitals further away. Pregnancy-related mortality is 1.7 times higher for people in rural communities in comparison to people living in large, urban centers.

Several counties here in Arizona already have fewer than one provider per every 10,000 women — a disastrous discrepancy that will lead to more deaths of pregnant moms and babies.

The “pro-life” party is proving that billionaires' bottom lines are a bigger priority than healthy communities. So please, if you’re with us in this work to secure affordable health care, will you pitch in today?
