Eliminate Congressional Health Care Subsidies and "Gold Level Obamacare" for Senators and Congres...
Why should you and me, ordinary Americans, be the only ones to worry about losing our healthcare coverage? Why should 20+ millions of our neighbors worry alone about losing the coverage that they never had prior to the enactment of the Affordable Care Act?
The ACA is imperfect and as a small business owner, the legislation meant that we lost our small business health plan because we no longer qualified as a small business under the language of the law. My partner and I both had to get individual coverage which immediately cost us more, and has gone up every year since enactment. Sure, we believe that the ACA needs improvement, including premium cost reductions, and that there are ways to make the law better, but that does not start with Repeal. It does not start with dumping our neighbors back on the street with no coverage. It does not mean insurance companies being able to deny coverage because of pre-existing claims. It does not mean young adults and low income earners, the under-employed and unemployed going back to playing Russian roulette with their health.
The Republican Controlled Congress has already started the process to Repeal, with only vague references to replacement. The President-Elect has repeatedly vowed to Repeal and Replace. This is a vindictive, partisan move designed to tarnish the legacy of President Obama and does nothing to help the nation. Please join me in demanding that Senators, Congressmen and their staffers forfeit their 75 percent Federal healthcare subsidy, their “Gold Level ObamaCare”, if they repeal the ACA, and until they enact new legislation that continues to affirm the RIGHT of every American to health care coverage.
Why shouldn’t the members of Congress have the same worries and feel the same pain as their constituents? Let’s hear them explain why they are more entitled to affordable government mandated medical insurance than the rest of us – the people that they work for!
