Call Senator Toomey to demand AHCA transparency, and protect Medicaid. URGENT ACTION NEEDED!


Please call and email Senator Toomey's offices

PHONE: 717-782-3951

Tell him to remove the secrecy from development of the Senate version of the AHCA...include female senators and Democrats in the drafting, and require committee hearings and public input. Say NO to medicaid cuts and caps. Tell him a personal story about yourself or someone you know who stands to loose big, so the GOP can orchestrate a big tax give-away to the rich! This should be healthcare, not healthcare! (See below for more background)...

The Affordable Care Act, and the healthcare of millions of Americans, is under a massive and urgent threat by Republicans. On Wednesday, June 7th, Speaker Mitch McConnell used “Rule 14” to successfully fast-track the AHCA, the House healthcare bill that passed last month designed to deprive 23 million people of healthcare in order to provide tax breaks to corporations and the rich. Rule 14 will allow the bill to go straight to a Senate floor vote without any requirement for committee debate or discussion.

Currently, the Senate plan is being developed in secret and is expected to be submitted to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) around June 13th, without the release of any details of the submitted healthcare plan to the public or even Senate Democrats. While the CBO score will be released to the public two weeks later during the week of June 26th, McConnell is expected to immediately call for a vote on the bill on the Senate floor (to reach his publicly stated goal of passing the bill before the July 4th recess), giving Senate Democrats and constituents *hours* to learn of and digest a new healthcare plan that will affect one-sixth of the national economy and their own personal well-being.
