Federal: Let’s talk about frogs. Yes, really, frogs. Pretend that the frog represents “health care.” Everybody loves the frog, but the Republicans want to get rid of the frog. Instead of killing the frog outright they slowly raise the temperature of the water until it’s too late and the frog is boiling. The frog still […]
It is now DEFCON 1 for healthcare. Mitch McConnell is going to try to push healthcare through…and will likely succeed unless we stop him. And why is he is trying to push it through? Part of the reason is that we have not been calling like we should. Senators are reporting phone calls are slowing […]
Bad news: Mitch McConnell is feeling optimistic about repealing Obamacare. The Republicans are likely going to rush Trumpcare through the Senate, with zero public hearings, zero input, and with the language of the bill secret. And even worse, rumor has it that the final bill will look a lot like the monstrous House bill. It […]
Our own Senator Portman has sponsored what is called “the worst bill you’ve never heard of.” This bill is called the RAA (The Regulatory Accountability Act). It threatens to engulf and paralyze the bureaucracy and agencies that protect our water, our air, our food, our transportation, and pretty much every other aspect of our lives. […]
At risk of sounding like a broken record, we are talking about health care again. I know, I know, we’ll talk about another issue tomorrow. But today we had some big news: Trumpcare has a timeline. Republicans in the Senate are hoping for a vote in July. It’s time to fire up the phones even […]
Federal: Our calls are working. The Republican senator Richard Burr has said that he does not see “comprehensive” health care reform happening this year. But we can’t stop now; we have already seen how Trumpcare was revived from the dead in the House. There is no reason that it can’t happen again. It is important […]
I know I sound like a broken record, but we must focus on health care this week. Our representatives, Rob Portman and Bob Latta, are avoiding town halls in fear of hearing people’s opinions. The ACHA is wildly unpopular- even Fox News shows that the bill is hated by Republicans. So is this why Rob […]
The week of recess resistance continues as we try to stop Trumpcare dead in its tracks. Mitch McConnell has said publically that he does not have 50 votes on Trumpcare- let’s call and keep it that way. And the work does not end with just stopping this horrible healthcare bill. Even without Trumpcare, Trump is […]
A few days ago Donald Trump tweeted: “I suggest that we add more dollars to Healthcare [sic] and make it the best anywhere.” For once I agree with Trump. Any proposed replacement for Obamacare should EXPAND coverage, not limit it. But unfortunately, this is precisely the opposite of what Trumpcare actually does. It guts Medicaid […]
Health care. Health care. Health care. It is rumored that Republicans are running scared. Some senators have (apparently) even conceded that if the outcry this recess is too large, they may end up just giving up on healthcare. Now is the time to make our voices heard. Now is the time to remind our representatives of […]
