Feb 25th: Healthcare Actions

Start: Saturday, February 25, 2017 1:00 PM

The Affordable Care Act (ACA), Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are in jeopardy: Republicans in Congress are planning what would be devastating to the working men and women of this country. If they repeal the Affordable Care Act it would cut health care for the poor and privatize it for the aging. Thirty million Americans will lose their health insurance, but that is not all. Half of American households have someone with a pre-existing condition that will put coverage out of reach. Seniors could see their Medicare premiums rise by as much as 50%, while their benefits are slashed and their prescription drug costs increase an average of $2,000. This is unacceptable. Our country must go forward and jointhe rest of the industrialized world and make health care a right, not a privilege. We should be moving towards a Medicare for All system instead of limiting coverage. That is why its critical we organize and demonstrate. If the American people rise up, we can force Washington to listen. Join us!
