Call Your Senator: Tell Them to Oppose New GOP Health Care Bill

The Senate Republicans released their new health care bill today. The new bill would gut coverage for preexisting conditions and allow insurers to offer plans with higher deductibles and that do not cover basic services like maternity and newborn care, mental health services and addiction treatment, outpatient care, hospitalization, emergency room visits, and prescription drugs.

The bill would massively cut Medicaid funding, leaving millions of families with lower incomes without insurance. The bill also would allow insurers to charge older customers five times what they charge younger people – effectively instituting an "Age Tax" on older Americans.

Please call 1-855-980-2280 or click here to tell your Senator to oppose this devastating attack on health care.
