Call Your Member of Congress TODAY To Protect Health Care!

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is under threat! Members of the House of Representatives are voting on the American Health Care Act H.R. 1628, which would repeal the ACA and leave more than 24 million people uninsured. Your member needs to hear from you. Please call your Representative at (202) 224-3121 or use this online tool to call your Representative and leave them this message:
  • My name is ________, from _______, zip code _______. I strongly oppose the American Health Care Act that is being voted on in the House today. You represent me and not Trump’s personal agenda. I urge you to vote NO today. I, my neighbors, and the entire country are watching how you vote and will remember where you stood today at election time.
If the ACA is repealed and replaced it with the  American Health Care Act, over one million LGBTQ people will lose health coverage by 2026.

The ACA has expanded access to healthcare for millions of people in the U.S. It’s the reason that: young people can remain covered by their parent’s health insurance until they’re 26; insurance companies can no longer impose a lifetime cap on coverage benefits; people living  with HIV or other chronic conditions aren’t being refused healthcare coverage because of a preexisting condition; contraception and other forms of preventative care are available without a copay; and it extends protections to anyone who faces discrimination in a healthcare or insurance setting because of sex, which includes gender identity.
