Today the GOP house is, yet again, going to vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act. In the middle of a measles outbreak, one the head of the CDC warned could grow much larger, the House GOP is playing political theater with American lives.
Our own mumtaznepal has a diary on the recommended list about it.
In Midst Measles Outbreak, Today GOP House Votes To Stop Child Access To Free Measles Vaccines
Please read it, and then go two steps further. Share their diary like mad. Then call your Congressional representatives, whether they are Democrat or Republican, and ask them if they really intend to vote on cutting off access to life saving vaccines during both a measles outbreak and flu season.
Use the information in mumtaznepal's diary if you need too. He/she makes two very important points. The ACA's requirement for free preventative care cuts down long term health care costs by both preventing disease and catching disease early.
It saves lives by doing so.
That the GOP is playing political theater while people's lives are on the line can not be stressed enough.
The more people who break through the DC bubble by calling and emailing, the better.
Here's the contact information to do so -

Lets get it done. We CAN change the narrative to one based on real lives and not Beltway spin. Thank you so much, wonderful ones.
