At some point today, the House of Representatives is likely to vote on legislation that will repeal Obamacare and replace it with legislation that will take away health care from 24 million Americans.
It's hard to believe that we are debating taking away care from tens of millions of our neighbors in order to give a tax cut to the rich, but here we are.
But there's one piece of this that is not getting enough attention. And that's how this bill will impact veterans. Trumpcare will also strip tax credits from potentially millions of veterans, and flood the VA with new patients at a time the VA is understaffed to handle a rush, thanks to the Donald Trump's hiring freeze.
Since the freeze went into effect, we've already seen wait times lengthen; the claims backlog that President Obama had virtually eliminated, starting to grow again. This will only cause things to get worse. Before the House votes, make your voice heard.
Add your name to our petition and tell Congress you expect them to vote NO on ANY legislation that will take health care from millions of Americans while flooding the VA with new patients at a time it's understaffed to handle such a rush.
We cannot put it more simply than this: Trumpcare will punish veterans. You cannot be pro-veteran and vote for Trumpcare.
Thank you for making your voice heard.
