Graham-Cassidy Is Just As Bad As Other ACA Repeal Bills, If Not Worse: Call TODAY!

Call Senators McConnell & Paul Today to Stop the Latest ACA Repeal Bill in its Tracks

While some Senators are engaging in positive, bipartisan talks to stabilize the ACA marketplaces, proponents of Graham-Cassidy are trying to force a vote on repeal before the end of September (when current budget rules expire that allow the Senate to pass a repeal bill with just 50 votes, plus a tie-breaking vote from the Vice President). The Graham-Cassidy bill is just as bad as all of the previous repeal efforts, if not worse. It would, among other things:

Cause 15 million people to become uninsured by next year
Leave approximately 32 million people uninsured by 2027
Eliminate ACA’s expansion of Medicaid for low-income people
Eliminate ACA’s subsidies that help people afford premiums
Decimate Medicaid through “per capita caps” – leading to funding caps and billions of dollars in cutsAllow states to gut consumer protections – including protections for people with pre-existing conditions

It’s time to make your voice heard, again! Previous efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act were defeated because of advocates like you. Efforts to repeal ACA have been secretive from the start, with just a few Senators working behind closed doors, with no hearings or opportunity for input. It should come as no surprise that this latest Senate effort is just as mysterious. Don’t let the Senate use another secret process to take health care away – with no hearings, and no independent analysis of the bill’s impact. Call Senator McConnell and Senator Paul TODAY at (202) 224-3121. Tell them to protect your care. Kentuckians deserve nothing less than more affordable coverage, better benefits, and stronger consumer protections. Spread the Word!

Share this tweet and this Facebook post about the ways that Graham-Cassidy is just as bad as previous repeal bills the Senate has already rejected.

Celebrating Second Chance Month

The work of building a better reentry system in Kentucky is not something any one organization can do alone. Kentucky Voices for Health leads the Healthy Reentry Coalition, a growing network of directly impacted advocates, services providers, and community members committed to creating a healthier, more just path home for all incarcerated Kentuckians. Our goal as a coalition is to provide support through education and awareness of policies and share resources and events among members. This work has traditionally focused on adult reentry, but we are working to bring in more voices from across the Commonwealth, particularly those either directly or indirectly impacted by the juvenile justice system. The coalition meets every third Thursday of the month. Our next meeting is April 16th, and we would love to have you there. If you are interested in joining or learning more, reach out directly to Brittany Elam at brittany@kyvoicesforhealth.org. THE SEASON OF SECOND CHANCES After a harsh winter, April is a month
