Folks,
President Trump and Mitch McConnell are racing to appoint another far-right SCOTUS nominee -- which means the fate of the Affordable Care Act is on the line.
The Supreme Court will take up the Trump-backed lawsuit to strike down the ACA exactly one week after Election Day. If a conservative majority rules in favor of the GOP's latest attack on our healthcare, over 20 million Americans could immediately lose coverage and millions more could lose protections for pre-existing conditions.
Our Democratic majority in the House has passed multiple bills to protect and strengthen the ACA, but Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans won't move on this without massive grassroots pressure. I need 5,000 signers to demand the Senate take immediate action to save the Affordable Care Act >>

I can think of nothing crueler than working to strip people of their health care while our nation battles a global pandemic.
If Trump's lawsuit to strike down the ACA succeeds, over 600,000 Illinoisans would lose coverage and over 5 million Illinoisans with pre-existing conditions could face higher premiums or be denied coverage altogether.
At a time when millions are afraid for the health of themselves and their loved ones, and millions more are unemployed and uninsured, our government has a responsibility to take care of its people. Add your name to call on the Senate to take legislative action to protect the Affordable Care Act >>

Remember, the GOP's attempt to repeal Obamacare in 2017 failed because enough Republican senators feared that voting to take away their constituents' health care would cost them their seats.
If we make enough noise, we can scare them into doing what's right.
Thank you for using your voice,
Sean Casten
