Don't Give Health Care Back to Insurance Companies
The Issue
The 112th Congress' Republican majority is bought and paid for by Wall Street-run corporations and their shill groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. It comes as no surprise that one of the Republicans’ first items is a plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and all the benefits and consumer protections that are making a real difference in the lives of millions of Americans right now. What are they replacing it with? NOTHING.
Join us in the fight against Speaker John Boehner and the Republicans who want to give our health care back to the insurance companies, and sentence more than 30,000 Americans a year to death because they can’t afford health insurance.
Everyone already knows that the Republican Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of the health insurance industry and other profit-hungry corporations. In case there was any doubt, the Republicans have begun hiring insurance and health care industry lobbyists for key positions on committees and members’ staffs.
The scheduled repeal vote in the House is part of an all-out assault on the new law in the Congress, the courts and state legislatures. And it’s an assault with well-funded corporate sponsors. Thankfully we have a strong Democratic caucus in the House and a majority in the Senate to fight back.
