Action Alert received today from National Write Your Congressman ...


Action Alert
Repealing the Healthcare Law

Incoming House Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), announced that the House will vote next Wednesday, Jan. 12, to repeal the new health care law, making good on a top-tier GOP campaign promise. GOP leaders pledged to “repeal and replace” the health care law, but the House will not vote on a separate replacement bill next week. Instead, lawmakers will consider a resolution that instructs three committees to report health care legislation. The resolution sets 12 goals for the bill, including lowering health care costs and premiums, increasing the number of insured Americans and “to provide people with preexisting conditions access to affordable health coverage.”

Time is short! Contact your representatives to tell them your opinion on this legislation.

For Repealing the Healthcare Law :
Rep. Wally Herger (R-CA)
“According to a study published last fall … by the time Obamacare is fully implemented in 2017, approximately 7.4 million seniors will have been forced out of their Medicare plan. … This is unacceptable… I intend to strongly support the effort to repeal Obamacare in order to preserve Medicare choices for … seniors, as well as to eliminate job-killing tax hikes and the unconstitutional “individual mandate” that would require all Americans to buy government-approved health insurance.”

Opposed to Repealing the Health Care Law:
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
“Instead of joining Democrats in our efforts for job creation, Republicans are planning to put insurance companies back in charge by repealing patient’s rights… House Democrats will fight to ensure that children with pre-existing conditions continue to get coverage; that young people can stay on their parents’ plans until age 26; that pregnant women and breast cancer survivors can no longer be thrown off the rolls; and that seniors do not pay higher drug prices.”

Take action and voice your opinion now!
