Stand Up Against @realDonaldTrump 's Cynical Sabotage of Our Health Care

After Congress failed to repeal Obamacare, the Trump Administration is now taking matters into their own hands and sabotaging the Affordable Care Act through executive orders. Their latest action will raise premiums and create junk insurance policies with none of the protections that families need.

Watch this video and then call your representatives and tell them to stand up to Trump's sabotage of our health care: 202-224-3121

Stand Up Against @realDonaldTrump 's Cynical Sabotage of Our Health Care  #SaveTheACA #Health #Nursing

These back-door moves to undermine health care are stacking up and quickly taking their toll on our health care. President Trump's actions are intentionally causing premiums to skyrocket and could end coverage for those with pre-existing conditions -- threatening the health care of millions of everyday Americans.

Call your Member of Congress and tell them to stand up to sabotage, and we'll hold them accountable for their votes: 202-224-3121

We were successful in preventing Congressional Republicans from stripping away our health care, but we can't let up. We must stop these new attacks and continue to protect our care.

To understand systemic oppression you have to know its history. Watching @Ava’s 13th on Netflix will open your eyes
