House Republicans on Thursday passed legislation that would overhaul the U.S. tax code, but under the House bill many households could see immediate tax increases. The proposed Senate plan would permanently reduce the corporate tax rate but allow cuts for households and individuals to expire.

YOUR CALL OR RESISTBOT: OPPOSE THE TAX PLAN’S MANDATORY CUTS TO MEDICARE AND SOCIAL PROGRAMS
The deep flaws in the Senate GOP’s tax reform plan continue to emerge. Since the tax plan adds $1.5 trillion to the deficit, it triggers a balanced budget law called “statutory pay-as-you-go” (or PAYGO). Under PAYGO, any legislation that increases the federal deficit must cover the costs of this deficit through mandatory cuts to existing pro…

ACTION: The Tax Fight=The Health Care Fight!!!
Republican leaders in the Senate released a new Senate version of the Trump Tax Scam that includes a repeal of the individual mandate. Repealing the individual mandate, which requires that every American have health insurance or pay a penalty, was the centerpiece of the Republicans’ failed effort to pass the “skinny repeal” bill in the Senate in July. Numerous major health care g…

THE CALL-#BackdoorStrategy to gut the Affordable Care Act
Senate Republicans have decided to include the repeal of the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that most people have health insurance into the sprawling tax rewrite, merging the fight over health care with the high-stakes effort to cut taxes.
The move to tuck the repeal of the so-called individual mandate into the tax overhaul is an attempt by Republicans to solve two problems: math and politics. Repealing the mandate, a longstanding Republican goal, would save hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade. That would free up money that could be used to expand middle-class tax cuts or help pay for the overall cost of the bill, which can add no more than $1.5 trillion to the deficit over 10 years. It could also help secure the votes of the most conservative senators, enabling lawmakers to pass the bill along party lines.
If it becomes law, the repeal would save more than $300 billion over a decade but result in 13 million fewer Americans being covered by health insurance by the end of that period, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Republicans said on Tuesday that they would use the savings — which stem from reduced government spending to subsidize health coverage — to pay for an expansion of the middle-class tax cuts that lawmakers had proposed.

YOUR SCRIPT:
This is [NAME] and I’m a constituent in [ZIP].
I urge [Rep/Sen____] to vote against the Republican’s tax bill. This bill is just a back door strategy to gut the Affordable Care Act to give tax cuts to Corporations that ship jobs overseas. It will trigger the PAYGO rule that will cut $25 billion from Medicare and more. We can not go back to the day when only the healthy and wealthy have health care. This bill will result in 13 million fewer insured and will destabilize the insurance market.
Thank you.
