Quick signature: Tell Congress to cancel the cuts to health care and pass the Protecting Health Care And Lowering Costs Act!

Our health care just took a major hit. No administration has ever slashed health care as deeply as the budget bill Republicans passed this month and President Trump signed into law—and it’s all to give tax breaks to billionaires and commit human rights abuses against immigrants. This is unacceptable, and Republican leaders in Congress need to change course now!

Here’s what you can do to protect our families’ health care: Yesterday, Senate Democrats introduced the Protecting Health Care And Lowering Costs Act, a bill that would reverse all of the health care cuts in the Big, Ugly Betrayal budget and permanently extend the ACA premium tax credits—making health care coverage cheaper and more widely available.

Tell Congress to pass the Protecting Health Care And Lowering Costs Act to cancel the cuts and defend health care programs that keep our families and communities strong.

Dear Member of Congress,

Moms, parents, and caregivers, are bracing for the impacts that the Republican budget bill will have on our communities. As a result of the bill’s passage and enactment into law:

More than 17 million people are projected to lose their health care coverage;
More than 51,000 preventable deaths will occur annually;
More than 300 hospitals in rural areas face immediate risk of closure;
Moms will be face additional risks as Medicaid helps pay for nearly half of births in the U.S., including lifesaving prenatal and postpartum care;
Children will have reduced access to health care, even at school, as 1 in 4 children use Medicaid for their health insurance;
Immigrants with legal status will lose access to health care through Medicaid and Medicare;
Consumers will accrue increased costs as health insurance from the ACA Marketplace will cost more and cover less;
Many people who work in the care workforce will lose their jobs due to cuts in funding.

We must reverse course to save the health care programs that are lifelines for our families, communities, and economy. Congress must pass the Protecting Health Care And Lowering Costs Act in order to cancel these cuts and instead expand health care so families can access the care we need to build good lives, healthy communities, and a strong economy.
