Dear 5849376, Republicans in Congress are on the offensive against the Affordable Care Act. And Democrats are joining them, or, at the very least, not fighting back. We have to make it clear to Congress that no one will be allowed to chip away the hard-won advances of the health care reform fight. We cannot afford to go back to the broken system that existed before. We need to stop playing defense and build power for the only reform that would get us out of this mess: Medicare for All. We know it works, and it will actually solve our nation's health care crisis. Call your legislators. Tell them we won't go back on health care reform. In fact, we should go on offense and expand coverage by making Medicare available to all. Click here for a sample script and the numbers to call. As right-wing extremists work methodically to dismantle the Affordable Care Act's important but modest improvements in how health insurance is bought and sold, we need not only to stop them in their tracks, but also to counter their demands with a real progressive vision that has the power to deliver the change this country needs. Medicare already covers 40 million Americans over the age of 65, providing quality care at prices that are much lower than the private market. We may not have the votes to win this fight, but the current mess provides a strategic opportunity to get Congress on the record when it comes to universal health care and build momentum not just to preserve the status quo but to win the real change we need. Call your legislators and tell them we need to expand health care reform, not roll back the hard-won reforms of the Affordable Care Act.
