How Badly Trumpcare Will Hurt States With Republican Senators (Updated)

4 min readJul 17, 2017

I’ve updated the information to reflect the newest version of the bill — July 17, 2017.

Republicans are desperate to pass #Trumpcare. Their donors want tax cuts and are threatening to withhold donations until they pass it. Stopping this bill is absolutely critical to saving health care coverage for millions of people, and with that hundreds of thousands of lives. They’ve delayed the vote to try to get support to pass it. We have to use this time to pressure Senators to stand up for the people in their state, instead of helping out their richest donors.

The Senate version of Trumpcare has managed to find a way to be even more damaging to the economy and the most vulnerable. It takes money away from mothers, babies, the elderly, low income people, and the working class to give that money to the richest 0.4% in the country. Trumpcare isn’t a health care bill, it’s an attack on Medicaid and income redistribution from the neediest to those who already have the most.

I’ve included links to a few Twitter threads about how harmful this bill would be, and then you can see how Trumpcare would hurt states that have Republican Senators. (Plus the phone number for their office)

Learn about the bill. Find your state. Call your Senators. Stop Trumpcare.
