After trying for less than 3 weeks to “fix” health care with a draconian bill, the President has given up. His Plan B is to let the ACA explode. This is irresponsible and violates his Oath of Office. If the ACA collapses, it will be because the President is aggressively taking action to undermine it. He issued an Exec Order (13765) in January saying that because he is seeking “prompt repeal” of the ACA, agencies should waive, defer or delay its enforcement. Agencies have: •Refused to enforce the tax penalty on people who don’t buy health insurance. •Destabilized the program by pulling ads to encourage sign ups. •Cut funding where possible. EO 13765 needs to be revoked. Its premise—ACA’s prompt repeal—is no longer valid. More importantly, the Administration needs to enforce and support the ACA. IT IS THE LAW.

This is a simple answer and we would all feel like we are part of our democracy

As a taxpayer, a voter and a consumer of medical care, I believe that the people who choose our health and medical choices should only have the same choices and costs that their constituents have.

They are trying to destroy our vibrant workforce, our healthcare, and our environment, and our cultural heritage with their greed.

'Access' to healthcare means nothing when you cannot afford it. Changes to our healthcare system over the years have helped some while hurting others, and the plans currently proposed to replace the ACA will just continue that cycle of inadequacy. Now is the time to push for a Medicare-for-All system which takes the economic burden of providing healthcare off of employers, gives employees the freedom to pursue career opportunities without losing their insurance, and ensures that every American will feel secure in the fact that they can get the medical care they need without facing the prospect of financial catastrophe.

Everyone has been affected by the outrageous cost of prescription medications, including even generic medicines. It is very important to increase the cost-effectiveness of prescription writing in the USA while maintaining very high-quality access. This petition will support that goal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/340B_Drug_Pricing_Program

To prioritize our tax dollars towards health care.

There are millions of Americans like myself who run a serious risk if their healthcare is interrupted. Congress' new plan is a financial and immoral mistake.

One of the many benefits of being a Member of Congress is that they can choose from among the very best insurance plans in the ACA, with extremely high government subsidies. They have 57 Gold Tier plans to choose from. They receive subsidies of 72 to 75 percent toward their premiums. And, among many other benefits, they also get FREE MEDICAL CARE on any military base in the world. But we don't know exactly how much our elected officials pay, out of pocket, for those insurance plans--nor do we know the extent of their coverage. Before they pick OUR coverage and out-of-pocket costs, shouldn't THEY be required to disclose theirs? SIGN THIS PETITION IF YOU AGREE.

We believe that a government should care for the safety and well-being of its citizens. The logic behind Trumpcare is the opposite of that. As you know, it will kill public healthcare in America, and that means goodbye to almost universally loved programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. There may be funders that back the ideology that Trumpcare embraces, but no one who votes for this bill will survive long in office. So consider this your warning, by all of us, the undersigned...

One of my sons has Affordable Health care and supports it. I am very upset about the ideas that Trump has - he is not educated enough to be the leader of our country. I am an immigrant. I grew up under Hitler, I grew up in the war, part of my family died in the two world wars. I knew Hitler because I was an artist since childhood. He had good intentions in the beginning but was not suitable to carry them out.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says that by 2026, the American Health Care Act [TrumpCare] would increase the number of Americans without health insurance by 24 million. TrumpCare would reverse the expansion of Medicaid that Illinois adopted under the Affordable Care Act. Under TrumpCare, Illinois would no longer get a fixed share of its Medicaid costs, but would get a fixed sum per person in the program, regardless of costs. TrumpCare would take away addiction and mental-health coverage from 1.3 million people. [1] More than 356,000 Illinois residents have coverage through plans purchased on the Affordable Care Act exchange. More than 3 million Illinois residents are covered by Medicaid, about one-fourth of Illinois residents. About 650,000 Illinois residents are now covered under the Medicaid expansion of the Affordable Care Act. The federal government now picks up about half the cost of Medicaid in Illinois. [2] The TrumpCare bill would also block Planned Parenthood from receiving federal funds. Planned Parenthood of Illinois operates 16 centers that provide cancer screenings, breast health care, contraceptive services and treatment for sexually transmitted infections. Planned Parenthood of Illinois provided reproductive health care services to about 60,000 people in 2015. [3] Even Republican Governor Bruce Rauner admitted that "Illinois won’t do very well under the changes that they’re recommending" under TrumpCare. [4] If the Illinois legislature debated and voted on a resolution against TrumpCare, it would put pressure on Illinois Republicans to oppose TrumpCare. Already, more than 50 Republicans in Congress have expressed opposition or skepticism towards the bill. [5] So far, Illinois Republicans have not done so. Urge your representatives in the Illinois Legislature to debate and pass a resolution against TrumpCare by signing our petition.
