The Republican Party's response to Senator
Bernie Sanders' Medicare for All bill is to attempt yet again to erase the
protections given under the Affordable Care Act. With so many lives at stake we
cannot allow Congress to try and sneak through a repeal.
We should be championing Medicare for All right
now, but as Senator Sanders has said, the most urgent task at hand is
protecting the Affordable Care Act from repeal. Please call your senator today and tell them to stop the
Graham-Cassidy repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
This is a perverse attempt to transfer wealth
from the middle and working class to the insurance and pharmaceutical
executives and the top one percent. The Republican Party is attempting to
create a government of, by, and for the donors, not the people. Their efforts
must be stopped.
The Graham-Cassidy bill would put an estimated
32 million people out of coverage, for a total of 60 million Americans without
health insurance. Such is the cost of making the richest people in this country
even richer.
It is cruel for these senators to bemoan the
cost of providing universal health care one day and threaten to eviscerate the
American health care system the next. While Senator Sanders demonstrates
integrity and morality with his Medicare for All bill, Graham, Cassidy, and the
rest of the Republican Party pledge their allegiance to their donors in the
insurance and pharmaceutical industry. Make
sure your senator votes against the Graham-Cassidy repeal of the Affordable
Care Act.
The Graham-Cassidy repeal is a direct attempt
to stop the momentum of our Medicare for All movement. We must be vigilant
about every attempt to take health care away from people who desperately need
it.
