Senate Reveals Bill to Replace Health Care Law with Tax Cuts

The American Health Care Act (AHCA), which is the Republican health care bill, is about to be voted on in the Senate. This bill, along with President Trump's proposed budget, will cut Medicaid funding almost in half. Many Americans, including seniors, children and women, will lose medicaid benefits and transfer the money meant for all of us to just the richest 1%. Call 888-865-8089 and tell your senators to vote no on the AHCA.
