BIANYS ADVOCACY UPDATE 6/14

The Senate is planning to vote to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act before leaving for the 4th of July, which gives us just a couple of weeks to stop them. All efforts right now are critical! If a bill passes the Senate, Republicans’ dangerous idea of health care reform and their efforts to decimate Medicaid will become a reality. 

The US Senate needs to hear from the Disability Community about the dangers of cutting $800 billion from Medicaid.

ACTION ALERT
We need YOU to call the Senate HELP Committee and Senate Finance Committee.

Call 202-224-5375 for the HELP
Call 202-224-4515 for the Finance Committee

Message
“My name is (your full name). I am disabled and I rely on Medicaid to live independently in my community. Legislation being considered by the Senate that would potentially cut $800 billion from Medicaid must be fully considered prior to being brought to the Senate floor.  I am calling to urge your committee to hold a hearing on this bill rather than allow it to move to the floor without a full review by the committee.

It is imperative that you call now, and then do it again tomorrow, and every day after that while this legislation is still active! The entire Disability Community is depending on you to make these calls and stop this legislation from moving forward.
