Sign the petition: Stop Trumpcare, stop Graham-Cassidy

Friend - Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and the rest of the Trump Republicans have not given up their quest to gut our health care. Two extreme right-wing Republican senators from South Carolina and Louisiana – Senator Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy, respectively – just introduced a so-called compromise bill (Graham-Cassidy) to win over the supposedly moderate wing of their party. But make no mistake, their latest proposal is just as cruel and heartless as the Trumpcare bills that came before it. Mitch McConnell is so desperate for a win on health care that he is now trying to ram through the Graham-Cassidy bill by Sept. 30 to avoid a Democratic filibuster and the public scrutiny of the bill’s dangerous impact. Our collective activism helped stop Trumpcare three times before. Now, we need to use the same grassroots power to block this latest attack and make sure that we defeat the Republicans’ zombie Trumpcare bill once and for all. [Tell Congress: Do everything in your power to protect our health care. Block the dangerous Graham-Cassidy bill.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( The Graham-Cassidy bill would: - End employer-provided health coverage for many Americans. - Eliminate subsidies that help middle- and low-income people purchase health plans. - Dramatically cut funding to support states’ Medicaid costs and allow states to impose work requirements on Medicaid beneficiaries, an attack that could leave millions of people with disabilities and low-income families without health coverage. - Give states the power to remove more expensive health services like maternity care from the list of essential benefits that insurance providers are required to cover. - Allow insurance providers to charge more and reduce the quality of care for people with pre-existing conditions. - Defund Planned Parenthood. - Increase health care premiums for seniors. Graham-Cassidy would also replace federal funding for Medicaid expansion and health care subsidies with a state block grant that would shrink over time. By 2026, states that expand Medicaid would have 50 percent less federal funding to keep the program going. Republican Sen. Rand Paul, who opposes the bill, has called Graham-Cassidy’s block grant scheme a “game” to take away federal funding from Democratic states. It is also an insidious attack on the health care of more than 15 million low-income people covered under Medicaid expansion. Senate Republicans claim they are just a few votes short of repealing the Affordable Care Act and replacing it with Graham-Cassidy, which is why we must speak out now. [Tell Congress: Do everything in your power to protect our health care. Block the dangerous Graham-Cassidy bill.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Graham-Cassidy would roll back Medicaid expansion, end protections for people with pre-existing conditions and cut funding to Planned Parenthood. We have signed petitions. We have made calls. We have showed up to congressional offices. We have shared videos, graphics and articles via our social media channels. Our activism has worked to defeat Trumpcare before, and we can win again if we put forward a massive show of resistance against Trump Republicans’ latest attempt to gut our health care. Will you help ramp-up the pressure now to make sure members of Congress do the right thing and reject the heartless Graham-Cassidy bill? [Tell Congress: Do everything in your power to protect our health care. Block the dangerous Graham-Cassidy bill.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Thank you for your activism.
