You have been doing a lot of calling to Rob Portman. Good. Keep it up. But did you know that Obamacare and Medicaid are under attack at the state level as well? Ohio Republicans are trying to freeze the Medicaid expansion in Ohio, stopping new enrollees from signing up and adding additional restrictions. Not only […]
Monday, June 26th: One moderate Republican in a swing state with a Republican governor has stood up to Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump. He has pointed out that Trumpcare does nothing to actually reduce premiums. He noted, rightly, that it takes away health insurance from 10 million Americans. This senator was not Rob Portman. It […]
The secret Trumpcare bill has dropped today. And it is TERRIBLE. It doesn’t just devastate the Medicaid expansion, it destroys Medicaid as we know it. If you have friends and family members with disabilities or mental health care issues, their lives are about to get much worse if this passes. It cuts funding to Planned […]
One quick note: Ossoff’s loss is devastating, but we must remember that his victory was always a long shot. As the party out of power, we are going to lose a lot. We need to learn to take our defeat gracefully, and wake up the next day and call our representatives. Here is what we […]

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.
