HEALTH CARE GAINS IN DANGER!!
Dear Valued Member,
The NAACP is calling on all of its members to protect access to affordable health care by demanding a stop to the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA). Thirteen U.S. Senators worked in secret, without normal bi-partisan transparency to craft the BCRA, which would “repeal and replace” the NAACP-supported Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. “ACA” or “Obamacare”). In just a couple of days, the Senate is expected to vote on the BCRA.
Tell your Senators that, according to the Congressional Budget Office, the BCRA would:
• Increase the number of Americans without health insurance by 22 million people by the year 2026
• Result in higher premiums for skimpier coverage and an increase in deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs
• Weaken protections for people with pre-existing conditions
The NAACP is asking you to contact your Senators NOW. Urge them to consider the impact of this healthcare bill that would benefit only a few – healthy, wealthy white men – and quarantine the rest of the country into the confines of high cost, low quality health care.
