Call Senator Rubio (202 224-3041 or 904 354-4300) and Senator Nelson (202 224-5274 or 904 346-4500) to tell them to seek and consider input from medical professionals, health insurance experts, economists, recipients of Medicaid, patients, families and other stakeholders in a national healthcare plan that will affect all Americans to create a sustainable plan that will indeed improve healthcare not destroy it.
Your script: Hi, my name is [NAME], and I am a constituent from [CITY, ZIP CODE, if leaving a voice mail, give your complete address].
I’m calling to express my strong opposition to the Better Care Reconciliation Plan now before the Senate.
This is [NAME] and I’m a constituent in [ZIP].
[IMPORTANT] Describe how the BCRA would personally impact you, your friends or family.
[Sen. Bill Nelson] Please continue to demand a bipartisan solution to the challenge of healthcare for all Americans. The current bill before the Senate, the Better Care Reconciliation Act, is essentially a tax bill, giving the rich a tax break. It is potentially a death sentence for the poor, elderly and disabled.
[Senator Marco Rubio] The Better Care Reconciliation Act is a tax cut for the rich that fails to protect the American people including the poor, elderly, disabled and people with pre-existing conditions. Any plan that benefits the wealthy while leaving sick or vulnerable people without insurance is wrong for your constituents and the American people. Stand with your fellow Republicans who are resisting party pressure to rush a disastrous plan through Congress quickly and without due deliberation, debate and amendments.

Your Script:
Hi, my name is (NAME) and I am a constituent from (CITY, ZIP).
I am calling to express my opposition to the method of how the AHCA is being negotiated. Senator Rubio promised on Face the Nation that all Senators would have time to weigh in on this bill and that it was going to take days and weeks to work through the Senate. We are now being told that the vote will be held next week, even though the other Senators nor the public have not yet seen the text of the bill. I am asking that the Senator make sure that we have ample time to weigh in on this bill.
Thank you for your hard work answering the phones.

While the Russia-Trump scandal has rocked the nation, Mitch McConnell and an all-male panel of 13 Republican Senators have been working in secret on a healthcare bill. Nobody knows what this bill looks like or how it differs from the House’s American Health Care Act, which would cause an estimated 23 million people to lose their health insurance by 2026. The GOP wants to keep it that way.
McConnell and Republican Senators intend to submit their secret healthcare bill to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) without any committee hearings, discussions, bipartisan debate, or public comments. They will keep the bill’s contents secret until the CBO finishes scoring the legislation. This means they would only release the bill publicly two to three days before the final vote, which they plan to hold on or before June 30th (by contrast, Senate Democrats held over 30 Senate Finance Committee meetings to draft the Affordable Care Act and included their Republican colleagues in these meetings). This strategy by the GOP is undermining our democratic process and we must not stand for it.
We CAN do something about this: demand Democratic Senators grind Senate business to a halt by withholding consent until Trumpcare gets a hearing, and urge Republican Senators to push their colleagues to draft their healthcare replacement openly and publicly. The American public deserves to know what is in the healthcare legislation, and the egregious behavior by the GOP must be stopped.
Your script:
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from Ponte Vedra Beach.
IF DEMOCRAT: I’m calling today because I’m furious by the Republican’s plan to write and pass the American Health Care Act in secret, with no Senate hearings or public debate. I’m demanding that [SEN NAME] withhold consent and shut down Senate business until a public hearing is scheduled.
IF REPUBLICAN: I’m calling today because I’m furious at the Republican’s plan to write and pass the American Health Care Act in secret, with no Senate hearing or public debate. I’m demanding that [SEN NAME] urge their colleagues to hold hearings on this bill and stop bypassing our democratic process.
[OPTIONAL: Share a personal story of why the ACA is so important to you, your family, and / or your community]
