Nationwide Call In Day TODAY: Please Call Your Senators to Protect Healthcare for 13 Million Americans

UPDATED NOVEMBER 29, 2017 - Call Your Senators TODAY: No Healthcare Repeal in Tax Bill

We need your help: Today Congress is at it again – they are attempting to undermine healthcare protections for 13 million Americans and increase health insurance premiums for even more. The Senate added a provision to the tax bill that will repeal the requirement that most people have health insurance. That requirement is known as the individual mandate. 

Today is a Nationwide Call In Day so that everyone can speak with one voice and tell our senators that the tax bill is no place to repeal healthcare and ask them to not repeal the individual mandate in the tax bill.

According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, eliminating the individual mandate will mean 13 million Americans will lose their healthcare coverage and state marketplace healthcare premiums will go up by at least 10 percent.
