Senate Republicans are planning to vote soon on repealing the Affordable Care Act, and replacing it with a loosely veiled effort to gut health coverage for millions of families to deliver enormous tax cuts to corporations. If they're successful, the fight will turn to the House once again, where New York Representatives will be the key to protecting health care for millions of hardworking Americans. Text ACA to 877877 to be connected with your Representative Now. Press Release:http://nysaflcio.org/new-york-state-afl-cio-ramps-up-campaign-against-republican-health-care-bill/ We have to act now. That is why we encourage all of our members to call their Representatives and urge them to vote no on the latest Republican health care repeal plan, which would cause the following: Over 20million Americanswould lose health care coverage and insurance markets could collapse Corporationswould gain massive tax breaks.1.45 million American jobs would be destroyedin the health care sector. An age tax would allow insurers to charge older Americans as much as five times morethan younger adults. Medicaid funding would be cut for those who desperately need itincluding long-term care for America's Seniors and more than one-third of American children. The stakes are high, which is demonstrated in a powerful new video that we producedfeaturing our union brother and SAG-AFTRA member Holter Graham. In it, he eloquently speaks to how having quality coverage and the passage of the ACA saved his life. Text ACA to 877877 to be connected with your Representative Now. Thanks again for you help. Together we can beat back attempts to rob millions of Americans of their health care.
