TALKING POINTS
Feel free to talk about whatever causes YOU to be against this terrible bill. Here are just a few ideas. Be brief, be factual, be polite. And CALL EVERY DAY.
* Congressional Budget Office - NON-partisan estimated (on Mon., June 26) :
> Increase the number of people without health insurance by 22 million by 2026
* What's the rush? Take your time and GET IT RIGHT
* MEDICAL groups opposed to bill include: AMA, pediatricians, OB-GYN, American Heart, American Lung, Nurses - MANY others
* Medicaid defunding of Planned Parenthood - if Senator is pro-life - PP is absolutely NECESSARY to REDUCE the # of abortions
* Bill is actually a HUGE tax cut for the VERY WEALTHY
* Goal SHOULD be - to make ACA BETTER - this is NOT the way to do it
* IF a senator is has expressed concern about the opioid crisis, tell them that this bill would be a DISASTER for opioid treatment. My senator, Rob Portman of Ohio, has made this a signature issue. I've called to say that if he REALLY cares about dealing with opioids, then he MUST opposed the current bill.
Don't want to call?? I understand - I HATE the telephone! I must say, though, that calling is not as scary as you might think. There's a good chance you'll talk to voice mail and not a person. (Don't worry, voice mails absolutely ARE counted by members of congress.)
But...if you really can't abide the idea of calling, please go to this file, where you'll see clickable links that will lead you to each senator's email/contact page.
