Last week, a team of us from MomsRising spread out and met with nearly half of the U.S. Senators' healthcare staff about the importance not unilaterally kicking 30,000,000 people off healthcare coverage.
We delivered stories from MomsRising members from across the country and life saver candies to remind lawmakers that quality, affordable health coverage is a life saver for families in the U.S.
Indeed, recent improvements to our nation’s healthcare system have brought the number of uninsured Americans to a record low. Currently, over 90% of Americans are insured through employer-sponsored health coverage, Affordable Care Act Marketplace coverage, Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP.
Any changes to our healthcare system must include a plan to ensure families do not lose access to the quality, affordable healthcare they depend on—It’s a life saver!
Your voice matters!
The phones are ringing off the hook and emails are rolling in to DC in support of healthcare in the offices of Democrats and Republicans alike. *Sign onto our letter supporting healthcare here: http://action.momsrising.org/sign/protect_our_healthcare/
Your stories matter!
Your voice—our voices—are needed now more than ever. Leaders are listening and it's adding up. *Share your healthcare story here: http://action.momsrising.org/survey/healthcare-stories/
Keep the messages, signatures, stories and more coming. Together, we can make a difference. Tell Congress to hold the line on healthcare—it's a life saver. Don't repeal without replacing so people maintain coverage.
