> Call ALL Arizoan House Members between now and Thursday's vote on the ACA repeal bill

> Arizona Advocates,
> 
> In the last 24 hours, House Republicans made changes to the ACA repeal bill that would make further disastrous cuts to the Medicaid program resulting in millions of people losing their health care and massive cuts to state budgets  These cuts will hit Arizona particularly hard.
> 
> The time is now to urge House members to oppose this bill – this is the final vote in the House. If it passes, the bill moves quickly to the Senate. The House remains fractured. Our calls, emails and rallies have made a difference. We need to do everything we can to stop this bill in its tracks. Members, regardless of their position, need to hear from their constituents NOW.
> 
> We cannot stand by and let them make coverage more expensive and less accessible, gut Medicaid and strip away critical consumer protections all to fund tax cuts for wealthy Americans.
>  
> Let's do everything we can to drive calls to ALL House Members between now and Thursday’s vote. Ask your friends and family to make calls too.
> 
> The New York Times published a list of Republican House Members who are undecided or who have expressed concern. Your calls matter to these members and to ALL members.
> 
> Talking Points:
> The GOP repeal bill is terrible for consumers – especially for kids,individuals with disabilities, older adults and low- and middle-income families.
> This bill would slash our state’s federal Medicaid funding, blowing a hole in Arizona's state budget and leaving us to foot the bill.
> The new changes to the bill are especially bad for kids. The block grant option reverses a long- standing commitment to protect low-income children – it would allow states to cut benefits, roll back eligibility and deny children comprehensive preventive care needed to stay healthy.
> This bill would undermine efforts to address our state’s crisis of opioid overdose deaths.
> This bill means fewer people covered, weaker protections and higher costs for consumers. This is not what your constituents want.
