Republican senators are trying to pass the American Health Care Act—aka Trumpcare 2.0—before July 4th without a hearing.
This bill will deny an estimated 23 million Americans healthcare, cut $834 million in Medicaid spending, give tax breaks to the wealthy, and increase healthcare costs for low income earners.
We can call, we can write—but the most powerful message is showing up.
10 Senators in 9 states have been identified. They are as follows:
