NO REPEAL – SAVE THE ACA

#NoRepeal
#FixtheACA
#KillTheBill

After failing to pass Trumpcare this week, Trump promised to “let Obamacare fail” and “won’t own it” when it does (http://nbcnews.to/2u5xZfj).

Let that sink in. The President of the Unites States is rooting for the failure of our healthcare system. By working for ACA repeal, Trump is using the power of the presidency to:
— leave 32 MILLION without insurance
— increase premiums 100%
— leave 75% of the country without an insurer in the individual market

How does this make America great?

While Trump and the Congressional GOP hash out legislation to take away healthcare, the administration is doing everything it can to undermine Obamacare. These efforts have already lead to premium increases (http://lat.ms/2rRhNAf). They went as far as using TAXPAYER dollars to run an ad campaign AGAINST Obamacare (http://thebea.st/2vmanmA).

Right now the GOP is making deals to pass Trumpcare. They are also working on a straight ACA/Obamacare repeal. They are determined to pass something.

The fight to save our healthcare must continue. We do this by calling our Senators and helping friends and family do the same. We do this by. . .

Making our voices heard, loud and clear!

We are in this together. A healthy America is a strong America.

**ACTION 1: CALL SENATORS MERKLEY AND WYDEN**

SAMPLE SCRIPT
“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [city], Oregon. I am very concerned that the ACA will be repealed and Trumpcare might pass. We cannot go backward on healthcare in this country! Please do all you can to fix the ACA, instead of repealing and replacing it with the Trumpcare abomination! Thank you.”

**ACTION 2: HELP FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN RED STATES CALL SWING SENATORS**

Swing Senators are getting political pressure to ignore their constituents and vote for the ACA repeal or to pass Trumpcare. Please call everyone you know and help them tell their Senators DO NOT repeal the ACA or pass Trumpcare.

**ACTION 3: SHARE THIS DAILY ACTION ON SOCIAL MEDIA**

Please share this action and any others you find in support of the ACA far and wide on social media. We must work to make it clear to Senators, Representatives and the American people we cannot go backward on healthcare.

If you can’t call during business hours, leave a voice mail! It all makes a difference!
