Wen will deliver letters to the Senate and House on the following topics:SENATE Better Care Reconciliation Act I urge you to vote No on the Better Care Reconciliation Act. and any bill that strips healthcare from millions of Americans. The CBO confirms that the Better Care Reconciliation Act would raid $772 billion from Medicaid by 2026 ― and that's BEFORE the largest cuts kick in. If the bill passes, 15 million Americans would lose their coverage next year, a number that would climb to 22 million by 2026. &nbsp;Healthcare is a human right; we must expand Medicare and make certain that everyone will be able to receive lifelong health care. When Sen. Sanders introduces his health care bill, please become an initial cosponsor.Not only is it crucial that people be able to access the medical care they need, it is also important that they be able to afford their prescription drugs. Please cosponsor S771 Improving Access to Affordable Prescription Drugs (Franken &nbsp;– MN). This bill negotiates prescription drug prices under Medicare Part D, accelerates the closing of the Medicare Part D coverage gap, allows importation of prescription drugs, require drug manufacturers to provide drug rebates for drugs dispensed to low income individuals.HOUSE The People's Budget House leaders are considering deep cuts and restrictions that would drastically weaken essential programs like Medicare, Medicaid and SNAP/food stamps; repeal Obamacare; cut taxes for the rich; and increase Pentagon spending. Now that we have seen the infrastructure plan, selling community assets to Wall Street is NOT a solution; it &nbsp;is disaster. I urge you to vote for the CPC Budget when it is offered as an amendment to the FY2018 budget.<a href="http://www.peoplesbudget.org">Link to The People's Budget Website</a> <a href="http://www.peoplesbudget.org/index.php/downloads/fy2018-people-s-budget/7-final-fy18-full-cpc-budget-document/file">Link to detailed People's Budget</a> Not only is it crucial that people be able to access the medical care they need, it is also important that they be able to afford their prescription drugs.
