The CBO score for Trumpcare 2.0 proves it’s not a healthcare bill. It’s a tax break that throws 23 million off insurance. It passed the House. Our Senators are asking for our stories which will help them stop Trumpcare in the Senate.
Under Trumpcare (AHCA):
--many with preexisting conditions will be unable to afford insurance (http://bit.ly/2qXRQxh);
--older patients will see 800% premiums increases (http://wapo.st/2r0DMDc);
--state waivers will force patients to self-pay thousands for maternity and mental health care (http://nyti.ms/2rS2vI3)
--$884 billion will be slashed from Medicaid – hurting nursing home residents, the disabled, and low income families. (http://bit.ly/2rUffO7)

The Senate version is uncertain. They are:
--holding no hearings and inviting no expert or public comment (http://bit.ly/2qhoq9h)
--rushing to pass a bill before the August recess (http://bit.ly/2rztuL1)

President Trump:
--threatened to withhold subsidies unless insurers support Trumpcare (http://lat.ms/2qXpBiW)
--is destabilizing the market, causing premiums to rise (http://lat.ms/2qXpBiW).

Our Senators are trying to save the ACA. Sen Wyden is investigating GOP attempts to hold it hostage (http://bit.ly/2qmpmct). Sen Merkely held a rally blasting Trumpcare http://bit.ly/2qiLh57. They are asking us to speak out (http://bit.ly/2rXbu9P, http://bit.ly/2mTMX5P).
We must keep calling. Our stories can stop Trumpcare.

**ACTION 1: CALL BOTH SENATORS**
SAMPLE SCRIPT
“My name is [--] and I’m a constituent from [city], Oregon. I want to thank Senator [--] for standing up against Trumpcare. It is an inhumane bill that will make America sicker and poorer. I am asking the Senator to withhold consent on all Senate business until there is an OPEN and TRANSPARENT process stablished for FIXING the ACA. Trumpcare must be thrown out. It cannot be changed for the better.
