Two days ago, Republicans in Congress voted to pass the American Healthcare Act – an insane piece of legislation that has only two purposes: Spite & power.
- Not a a single healthcare organization supports it.
- The House Oversight Committee never got the chance to study it and provide estimates on it’s impact.
- Not a single Democrat voted for it.
- AHCA effectively cuts healthcare from 24 million citizens – especially those with pre-existing conditions who desperately need it.
Documented here (https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/115-2017/h256) the inhumane suffering & loss of life over the next several years will be staggering. For an idea of the impact this will have, read this article:
- The Republicans who voted for this abomination must be held accountable

So what are you going to do about it?
I’ll make it simple for you:
Almost every Republican voted for the bill. If your Congressman is Republican, it’s likely he or she wanted to protect their own jobs & voted AGAINST the American people’s interests, believing you, their constituents, wouldn’t notice their actions when they run for reelection in 2018.
- AGAIN, ALMOST EVERY REPUBLICAN IN THE HOUSE VOTED TO PASS IT. (Click here for the House vote tally – the following Republicans did NOT vote for the AHCA)
