Join with other NC healthcare advocates for a special Valentine’s Day of Action to protect our care!
February 13, 2017
For Valentine’s Day, health advocates from across North Carolina are joining together to tell Senators Burr and Tillis: “Have a heart and keep North Carolina covered under the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid!”
**Sign up to participate! http://action.momsrising.org/signup/burr-tillis-have-a-heart/
During the the statewide day of action, participants will attend in-person events and/or call Congressional offices to let our lawmakers know that North Carolina families need access to the quality, affordable healthcare coverage options found through the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid.
Lawmakers thrive on contact from their constituents to gauge what people in their districts care about most. Showing up in person and/or calling to share your thoughts and feelings about healthcare can make a big impact!
(Indeed, it already is! We’ve seen this through a massive slowdown of Republican’s initial goal of having the ACA repealed in January—It hasn’t happened yet, and that’s in large part due to a national outcry from the tens of millions of people who stand to lose their healthcare coverage.)
Let’s keep up the pressure! RSVP: http://action.momsrising.org/signup/burr-tillis-have-a-heart/
This is a big deal. Independent, credible experts agree that a repeal of the Affordable Care Act without an immediate replacement would leave almost 30 million people uninsured, including 4 million children, and 1 million here in North Carolina!
Healthcare coverage saves lives and dollars. We cannot backtrack on all the progress we’ve made. Losing coverage is quite literally a life or death situation for many, and North Carolina’s economic well-being is at stake, too! Reports show there will be catastrophic economic effects if the ACA is repealed without a replacement plan in place; indeed North Carolina would lose nearly fifty thousand jobs.
RSVP NOW! We’ll send you all the information: http://action.momsrising.org/signup/burr-tillis-have-a-heart/
