Outrageous doesn’t even begin to describe it! The Senate could vote on yet ANOTHER disastrous health care repeal bill in just a matter of days. In a last-ditch effort, they’re trying to gather enough votes to pass the awful Cassidy-Graham repeal bill, and this is the worst one yet! Members of...

I work in a children’s hospital. The same children’s hospital that has provided the complex care my children have needed. Today, I found myself looking at the families in the halls, knowing that their children by virtue of being here would be negatively impacted by #GrahamCassidy. For my family,...

Yikes! Health care is under attack again—and we need to do everything we can to protect our health care! This is an emergency: The new Cassidy-Graham bill that’s being proposed is even more harmful and destructive to our health care than previous bills and would take away coverage from tens of...
