Let's gather together in solidarity with dozens of other Indivisible groups across the state on Wednesday at dusk for a candlelight vigil outside UMC-Brackenridge Hospital. Bring a candle- we will have some extras...we will provide the light!

This is a do-or-die moment for the ACA. Exactly seven years to the day of the Affordable Care Act becoming law, the House of Representatives will be voting to repeal it and replace it with TrumpCare—a plan that would lead to 24 million Americans losing their health care, and which will put hospitals in jeopardy.

Republicans are rushing to get this bill through before the upcoming April recess, ignoring the normal legislative process. They are attempting to ram through a TrumpCare bill that will cut coverage for millions and raise premiums for millions more. Their proposal simultaneously guts Medicaid and gives a $600 billion tax break to the wealthy and corporations.

Millions of lives hang in the balance. The House vote, currently scheduled for Thursday, is the first step towards enactment of this devastating TrumpCare bill. Our Austin-area members of Congress, with the exception of Rep. Doggett, have indicated that they support this bill. Their votes could mean the difference between life or death for thousands each year. We need to demonstrate our resolve.

Let's join together on Wednesday night to show our representatives and our community that we do not condone stripping healthcare from millions of Americans.
