Let them know their constituents are paying attention to how they vote!
The Senate bill is different than the budget bill passed by the House, so it will go back to the House for approval.
We are all hands on deck to pressure House Republicans to vote NO and protect medicaid, rural hospitals, SNAP, and so much more.
Here's what's in the BILL
-Cuts $1.3 trillion in food assistance and health coverage while giving the wealthy that exact amount in tax breaks.
-Rips away health care from 17 million Americans through over $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act — including the largest cut to Medicaid in American history.
-Puts over 300 rural hospitals at risk of shutting down, ripping away critical, lifesaving care from hundreds of rural communities across the country.
-Puts roughly 5 million Americans at risk of losing food assistance.
-Adds $3.25 trillion to the national debt, while revenues fall by $4.47 trillion.
-Forces 1 in 4 nursing homes to close their doors.
-Puts 1.75 million construction jobs at risk — with unions warning, “this stands to be the biggest job-killing bill in the history of the country.”
-Puts 2 million clean energy jobs at risk.
-Increases energy bills by hundreds of dollars across the country.
-Endangers our communities by making it easier to buy dangerous firearms and silencers.
