While our calls, emails and rallies were effective in delaying the vote-we still must work to defeat it once and for all. All eyes are still on the U.S. Senate bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act and leave 22 million people without health care, all to give huge tax breaks to the wealthy and drug and insurance corporations.
We MUST continue the public outcry necessary to stop them. Below is a list of events happening this week across the state. Check here to find a phone bank and other upcoming events near you: http://newyorkersforhealthcare.org/
