Call House Members Today to Defeat the AHCA

ACTION ALERT in bold white letters on a dark red background

This alert comes to NYAIL from HCFANY.

CALL 1-844-898-1199 AND DEMAND THAT CONGRESS BLOCK THIS DEVASTATING BILL

Just days ago, an important group of Republicans endorsed a new version of the American Health Care Act. This makes it much more likely to pass. The vote is scheduled for TODAY.
The original bill would have gutted Medicaid to pay for billions in tax cuts for millionaires and would have asked some Americans to pay more than they earn in a year just for health insurance.
Shockingly, the new bill is even worse. This time, they're also going after people with pre-existing conditions by letting states segregate them using high-risk pools, expensive programs that have failed again and again.

ACTION:

Keep calling! 1-844-898-1199. It makes a difference - we saw it work in March! We want all members of Congress to hear from constituents, but it is especially important if you are represented by one of the following because we do not have promises from them to vote "no":

•   John Faso (Hudson Valley)
•   Peter King (Long Island)
•   Elise Stefanik (Watertown and Saratoga Springs)
•   Claudia Tenney (Binghamton and Utica)

Keep letting people know: Medicaid and the ACA save lives! Share your stories with the people you know and with us - we have story forms for Medicaid and for the ACA.
