Take Action – Health Care is Looming

Dear Members,
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.

Contact Your Senators

Make a Phone Call: Call your Senators on the Hill by dialing the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121

Send an E-Mail: Click here to send email to your Senator. For your convenience, a sample letter is provided.

Remember, time is of the essence so we ask you to act quickly and contact your state Senators. Protect the Affordable Care Act and ensure accessible healthcare for those who need it the most.
