Someone who knows somebody shared this message somewhere. And now it’s here, slightly edited:
For those worried about ACA (“Obamacare”) coverage for themselves and their families:
After hearing about the midnight repeal of the pre-existing conditions clause, I called Senator Elizabeth Warren’s office. The woman I spoke to said they are being flooded with calls, as are the offices of Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Senator Warren’s staff member told me what would help the most would be to call the five Republican senators who have broken away from their leadership to demand a slowdown of the repeal. Tell them how much you appreciate their efforts to stop the train wreck and maybe share your story.
Senator Bill Cassidy (Louisiana) – (202) 224-5824
Senator Susan Collins (Maine) – (202) 224-2523
Senator Bob Corker (Tennessee) – (202) 224-3344
Senator Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) – (202) 224-6665
Senator Rob Portman (Ohio) – (202) 224-3353
There is additional contact information for U.S. senators available here. People say ringing telephones and overloaded phone systems are the best way to impress politicians (they’re even more impressive than offering cash bribes or sexual favors).
