🛑 ACTION ALERT: Don’t Let Congress Gut Healthcare to Give Tax Breaks to the Wealthy 🛑 📣 Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to ram the “Big Beautiful Bill Act” through the House—maybe even TODAY. It slashes $700 BILLION from Medicaid and guts the ACA, just to pay for more tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. 🚨 What’s at stake: ✖️ 13.7 million people could lose their healthcare ✖️ Harsh cuts to Medicaid and SNAP ✖️ Bans Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood & gender-affirming care ✖️ Targets immigrant kids & pregnant people ✖️ Kicks people off coverage over red tape ✖️ Hikes premiums for 89,000 Minnesotans in 2026 💥 It's a sneak attack. They aren’t calling it a “repeal of the ACA” — but the impact is the same. 📞 TAKE ACTION NOW: 📱 Call your U.S. House Rep: 866-426-2631 (English & Spanish) 📢 Tell them: Don’t take away healthcare to fund tax cuts for the rich. 🗣 Sample Script: “Hi, I’m [Your Name], a constituent. I/my family depend on [Medicaid/ACA]. This bill would take coverage from people who need it most. Please vote NO. We need healthcare more than billionaires need tax breaks.” (fb)
