Monday, March 7, Call to Action

 Legislation to repeal and replace ACA, now called the ACHA, is in and here are some “highlights”:
  • Tax credits based on income and age that would ultimately provide less government support for low income people of all age groups.
  • States would receive a fixed amount of money for Medicaid costs, leaving millions in jeopardy. 
  • Health services from Planned Parenthood will not be covered by Medicaid. 
  • Repeal of taxes on the wealthy, insurance companies, and drug companies.
Call your Senators and Congress members to aggressively oppose this HUGE step backward:
U.S. Senator John Cornyn (202) 224-2943
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (202) 224-5922
U.S. Representative Mike Conaway (202) 225-3605
