Trump and the GOP’s “health care” bill is as bad as expected -- it will leave 22 million more Americans uninsured over the next ten years.
That’s 22 million more Americans losing access to the life-saving care, medication, and treatment they need without shelling out outrageous sums or going into crushing debt. All the while funneling billions into the pockets of corporate executives.
We all deserve better than this. Healthcare should be non-negotiable. Taking care of our families, friends, and neighbors should be the basis of our shared community. Unfortunately, Trump and the GOP don’t seem to agree.
This Bill kills. Stop Trumpcare now.
The GOP is claiming that this massive attack on healthcare will alleviate the budget deficit, but what is really happening here is that our representatives are simply in the palm of Corporate America’s hand.
If this bill passes, America’s richest taxpayers -- mostly the major corporate CEO’s and executives who earn more than $200,000 a year -- will get a massive tax cut totaling $346 billion over 10 years. This cut will come mostly from defunding Medicaid, the hugely important program aiding the working poor, elderly and disabled. And the rest of America will be left to suffer.
This “healthcare” bill is nothing more than a tax break for the 1% that will drastically exaggerate the country’s economic and social inequality. The Guardian called it “the largest single transfer of wealth to the rich from the middle class and poor in American history.”
It’s time for our representatives to hear from all of us. We can’t be duped, and we won’t be complicit.
Please. Join us and tell the Senate to vote against the Republican Healthcare Bill.
SumOfUs members have already taken on Trump in some big ways. You’ve helped pressure CEO’s to back away from Trump in light of the Muslim ban and the breaking of the Paris Climate Agreement. You’ve shown that you’re paying attention and you won’t let corporate executives steamroll our rights.
“Trumpcare” is a complete misnomer. Trump and the GOP have shown time and time again that they don’t care even in the slightest about America’s working families. This “healthcare” bill will only put even more pressure on the most vulnerable in our communities and it needs to be stopped today.
We have the power to stop Trump’s disastrous “healthcare” Bill. Sign now.
Show your Senator today that you won’t sit idly by while corporate CEO’s profit off our sickness and death.
