Partners,
We are at a critical moment for our collective advocacy. Speaker Nancy Pelosi may bring the Build Back Better (BBB) Act ([link removed]) to the House Floor for a vote as soon as tonight!
As the package advances, it’s still important for members of Congress to hear directly from advocates and constituents; failure to pass this bill is not an option. The Build Back Better package makes tremendous progress toward changing our health system, and delivering affordable care and coverage to millions of America’s families. We must continue to keep the pressure on the House to pass the bill so it can go to the Senate and be signed by President Biden.
With a very narrow vote margin in the House, we cannot take any member for granted. In particular it is important that we shore up members who have indicated they may have concerns with the final bill. To that end, below is a list of the House members for whom reinforcement of our message is critical:
* Ed Case (HI-01)
* Jared Golden (ME-02)
* Josh Gottheimer (NJ-05)
* Stephanie Murphy (FL-07)
* Scott Peters (CA-52)
* Kathleen Rice (NY-04)
* Kurt Schrader (OR-05)
In addition, please find resources below to continue pushing for BBB to pass the House:
* An Updated Summary of Health Provisions in Build Back Better ([link removed])
* TPs for Engaging House Members ([link removed])
* Sample Social Media ([link removed])
* ICYMI: Families USA’s statement on the drug pricing contours of the bill ([link removed])
And, while we are focused on advocacy efforts today, please don’t miss out on registering ([link removed]) for the upcoming Health Action Conference in January, where administrative advocacy and implementation of the Build Back Better agenda will be a prime focus. More information can be found below.
As Build Back Better continues to move through Congress, Families USA will remain in touch. Please feel free to reach out with questions and feedback in the meantime.
To your health,
Tiana Rodriguez
Strategic Partnerships Coordinator
