Dear MoveOn member,
Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans are officially taking us into a government shutdown. All because they refuse to work with Democrats and lower healthcare costs for working families around the country.
For the last nine months, Republicans have relentlessly attacked health care. They’ve raised the costs of medication, slashed funding for critical scientific and medical research, put rural hospitals around the country at risk of closing, and cut insurance for around 15 million Americans.1 If they get their way with this budget, premiums will explode for even more families.
Join our mass call with Working Families Power, Indivisible, Public Citizen, and Fair Share America TODAY on Wednesday (10/1) at 8:30 PM EST/5:30 PM PST for an update on the federal funding fight, and to discuss how we can organize together to support and protect our communities in this federal budget showdown.
Republicans are refusing to negotiate on their proposed funding resolution; they’d rather push through any policy Trump asks for. If they get their way, critical Affordable Care Act tax credits will expire and raise out-of-pocket premiums on Americans by an average of 75%.2 We are counting on Democrats to stand up and fight for us and against Trump’s executive overreach.
Republicans have a simple choice in front of them: fix our health care or shut down the government. It shouldn’t be a hard choice. Sign up here to learn more about how we can stand up for our healthcare and rein in Trump's lawlessness.
Thanks for all you do.
Nakia, Cheryl, Seth, Alyssa, and the rest of the team
P.S. We need our Senators and Representatives of all parties to know to fight for us and for healthcare. Sign up to host an event in your community here. It can be you and a few other people outside your Senator’s office, or a rally downtown in your city—any event that makes it clear that we’re asking our representatives to pass a budget and to fund our healthcare.
