Received this e-mail today from Governor Tom Wolf (D. PA) in support of U.S. Senator Bob Casey, Jr.’s (D. PA) re-election campaign:
You've seen the news.
President Donald Trump and Speaker Paul Ryan's healthcare plan is a complete disaster for Pennsylvanians. It would strip millions of people of their health coverage and charge a ridiculous age tax that would keep our seniors from receiving the services and medicines they need.
My good friend, Senator Bob Casey, has been standing up for working families, seniors, and Pennsylvania's most vulnerable citizens for years and years. As soon as Trump's allies started talking about their plan to gut Medicaid and force millions to go uninsured, Bob did what he does best.
Bob stood up for the people of Pennsylvania armed with facts and a sense of what's right -- and now we need to stand with him. Chip in $3 or more to his campaign today.
As a result of the Affordable Care Act, more than 1,100,000 Pennsylvanians have gained coverage. The commonwealth's uninsured rate fell from 10.2 percent to 6.4 percent in four years, the lowest it's ever been. Thanks to Medicaid expansion, we've empowered more than 120,000 people currently battling addiction to get the help they need.
But all of the progress we've made is at risk if Donald Trump and Paul Ryan get their way. Their plan would force 24 million people to lose their healthcare by 2026 and stop treatment for too many people who are battling addiction during a massive opioid and heroin epidemic.
I've urged Pennsylvania's congressional delegation to reject Trumpcare, but we also need to show our support for those who are with us to protect and strengthen the Affordable Care Act.
That's why we need to send a message to Trump's allies before Thursday's vote. Sam, will you chip in $3 or more to support Senator Bob Casey?
Thank you,
Tom Wolf
