Re: Tell your House Republican to oppose Graham-Cassidy or risk losing in 2018

Friend, We're getting close to the vote date on September 30th and we still have work to do. Mitch McConnell and the GOP are hell bent on rushing Graham-Cassidy through the Senate in spite of the mass destruction it will cause to the healthcare system. We need to remind them who they work for...the American public they're trying to screw over! Call your House Republican right now and tell them our healthcare matters more. When your call is answered by a live person or by voicemail, you can leave this message: Hi, my name is (say your name) from zip code 10016. I strongly oppose the Graham-Cassidy health care bill being rushed through Congress, and as my representative I need you to vote against it. This bill vindictively cuts funding for our state to reward states that did not expand Medicaid. Please don't steal from your own constituents. Thank you.

Write a letter to , demanding they oppose Trumpcare.]( Every call counts to crush this bill. If Graham-Cassidy passes in the Senate, it'll go next to the House. We need 23 House Reps to vote no and demonstrate their commitment to the American public who they work for and who pays their salary. Keep fighting, Kelli Soto, Daily Kos If you missed it, here's a message from yesterday explaining the catastrophic consequences of Graham-Cassidy for states that did it's job to protect citizens and expand Medicaid. --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, The hits keep coming. This horror of a bill to repeal Obamacare, Graham-Cassidy, is a threat that affects all of us. In a sick Republican Robin Hood-esque twist, this bill brings a new provision to essentially punish those states that expanded Medicaid of their own volition - by slashing billions of dollars in their funding to give to states that "obeyed" the cruel conservative agenda and did not expand Medicaid. We need your help right this second. Call your House Republican and tell them that this is unacceptable - your state shouldn't be punished for prioritizing healthcare funding.

This is how Republicans plan to respond in exchange for your state's decision to preserve and grow funding for the elderly, Americans with disabilities and other communities who desperately need healthcare. Your state and other Medicaid expansion states should not be penalized for caring for their most vulnerable constituents. There's no way around it: a Republican in a Medicaid expansion state who votes for Graham-Cassidy will be complicit with the plan to steal money and opportunities from voters in their own state. Currently, only need 23 House Republicans to oppose this bill, and there are 117 of them in the 31 states that voted to expand Medicaid. Flood their phone lines now and tell them that you're aware of the plan and that [their actions will inform your vote]( for them in the future.
