CALL AND EMAIL your GOP senators and tell them to vote NO on BCRA/AHCA or any version of it. If you have a story about how repeal of ACA will affect you or someone you care for, TELL IT.
YES - call on a Sunday or on a holiday. LEAVE VOICE MAIL if no staffer answers. ALSO send email to your GOP senator AND their health staffers.

(90,779 posts)Trump attacks the Press so when they report on this second bill, he'll claim they are out to get him and that anything negative they say about the bill is fake news.
These attack tweets/bills/XO coming out are coordinated.
People can be attuned to both without being told they have been distracted.

(14,565 posts)Their base demands it. The details only matter to a handful of people in the House and Senate. That's the sad reality, Millions of people are at risk but we're talking maybe a few dozen people who are deciding matters, and half of them think it should be more cruel and cause more deaths.

Really?
REALLY?
EDIT: Do you REALLY think they still won't remove basic coverage requirements, jack up premiums and deductibles and GUT Medicaid in the next decade as well as defunding Planned Parenthood?
The term 'Pollyanna' comes to mind. When it comes to these death merchants, I'd not want to be one.
