Received this e-mail over the weekend from U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin’s (D. WI) re-election campaign:
This is it.
Senate Republicans have released their plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act. They want to force it to a vote as quickly as possible.
If we don't act now, we could lose the ACA for good. Millions of Americans could become uninsurance.
Join Tammy and put your name down to reject the Republican health care plan.
Tammy knows how important the protections in the Affordable Care Act are. She fought hard to make sure people with pre-existing conditions were guaranteed full coverage and that young adults could stay on their parents’ plan longer, because she had lived a life without those protections.
In case you missed it, here’s her story:
"...when I was 9 I got sick. I got really sick, and I was in the hospital for months. Luckily, I got better.
However, my problems weren’t over. I was branded with the words 'pre-existing condition,' and in those days it meant I couldn’t get health insurance on any plan at any cost.
My grandparents, who helped raise me, sacrificed greatly to provide me with care, and they had to live with the uncertainty that haunts those who are one sickness away from disaster."
Thousands of hardworking families know what this is like. And if we let this Republican health care plan go through, millions more could get stuck in the same position.
Add your name to reject the Senate Republican health care plan.
Thanks,
Team Baldwin
