Received this e-mail today from Lt. Governor Ralph Northam’s (D. VA) gubernatorial campaign:
We have to take action, Friends.
Republicans in Congress are hell-bent on stripping away our healthcare by whatever means necessary. The bill they released yesterday threatens to cut Medicaid, eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood, and could price seniors right out of their healthcare plans. We can’t let them get away with it.
Republicans may have written this bill in secret, but now is your chance to make your voice heard and tell them you believe in quality, affordable healthcare.
Republicans can dress it up with a new name, but whether they call it the American Health Care Act or the Better Care Reconciliation Act, Virginians know: This healthcare bill is bad across the board. And it would especially hurt Virginians. Unlike other states, Republicans stood in the way of Medicaid expansion here, and now we’ll be hit harder by these cuts.
Republicans are making it clear that they’re willing to do whatever it takes to make a political statement—even if that means hurting millions of Americans.
Thanks,
Team Ralph
