Tell your Senators to HOLD THE LINE against any blank check budget deal that does not extend the ACA tax credits. Caving on a deal will be a giant betrayal of the American people. We can't go back to a time when Americans died because they weren't rich enough for health insurance or health care.
Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.
If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

There are many reasons why RFK Jr. should be impeached. We don't need to further stigmatize people with opioid use disorder by pointing to his history of heroin use. He is a danger to children, disabled, elderly and poor because of his ableist, anti-science, racist and eugenicist beliefs.

NCCC’s HIV Warmline Project: In 2024, we followed up with eligible HIV Warmline callers who agreed to participate to learn: a) if the patient was still in their care; b)whether our HIV treatment recommendations were used; and c)if available, how the viral load changed. The results were powerful.

Can we agree to call the fallout of OBBA, "Maga Cuts" i.e. you no longer have medical coverage because of Maga Cuts. Your rural hospital closed because of Maga Cuts. Just like they did with "ObamaCare," we need to continually remind people of the repercussions of this reconciliation bill.
