Alert: protect healthcare
It's time to contact your Senators again to let them know what you think of the proposed Cassidy-Graham bill that would switch to a block grant model of funding, which will result in less funding available for Medicaid in each state, especially for those in need of the most care.
An additional challenge is that this bill would give more control to the states, which means that they could roll back essential care requirements, which affects all healthcare plans, including employer-provided plans. A good discussion of this proposal is offered by the Washington Post at this link: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/09/18/the-new-gop-health-care-measure-goes-further-than-the-failed-one/
Just a reminder, you can reach Senator Richard Burr's office at 202-224-3154 and Senator Thom Tillis at 202-224-6342.
