Senate Republicans have released another draft of the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA), their Affordable Care Act (ACA) repeal plan. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has predicted this bill would leave 22 million additional people uninsured by 2026, cut Medicaid funding by over a quarter by 2025 and by 36% by 2036, and increase healthcare spending by driving up deductibles and reducing covered benefits, all while delivering tax cuts to insurance executives and wealthy Americans.

The new BCRA draft fixes almost none of the old draft’s shortcomings. While it does eliminate some of the bill’s original tax cuts to the wealthy, it retains the original draft’s cruel cuts to Medicaid.

Help us track who is fighting back against this unacceptable bill by calling your senator, asking if they support the BCRA, and *reporting their stance using the buttons below the script – SUPPORTS, OPPOSES, or UNDECIDED*.

We’ll be updating the tracker in real-time as things change, so keep calling to find out your Senator’s latest position, especially if your Senator is an undecided vote.

Your script:
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from (zip code.)

I’m calling about the Senate healthcare bill, the BCRA (AHCA in the House). Do know how the Senator plans to vote on it?

[IF YES/SUPPORTS] I’m appalled by Senator Bill Nelson’s support for a bill that is predicted to endanger the health and economic stability of millions of Americans. This bill will make health insurance inaccessible to millions of lower-income and sicker Americans, especially since it deeply cuts Medicaid spending. Shame on Senator Bill Nelson for prioritizing a partisan victory over their own constituents’ needs. I will be actively working against [his/her] re-election.

[IF NO STANCE/UNDECIDED OR VOICEMAIL] The Medicaid cuts contained in this bill will leave millions of Americans uninsured and will drive up costs for individual insurance market consumers. I demand the Senator take a public against this bill.

[IF NO/OPPOSES] That’s great news! Please thank the senator for standing up for the right of all Americans to have access affordable health care. I hope the Senator will do everything in their power to stop the passage of this cruel bill.

Thank you for your time and hard work answering the phones.

[IF VOICEMAIL: please leave your full street address to ensure your call is tallied.]
