Please copy and paste into the forms on the website of your members of Congress, then boost.

This #Republican Administration views #healthcare as a means to enrich corporations, and I want you to be loud and clear about a few specific things:

--Last week's boost of Medicare Advantage reimbursement rates is about boosting corporate #profit. Each year, #MedicareAdvantage plans cost taxpayers $83 billion more than Traditional #Medicare. This extra cost goes mostly to the private companies who administer these programs. These programs promised our government they would lower costs, then didn't. Giving these companies more in reimbursement will not improve health or shore up rural hospitals. It will enrich already rich insurance companies. In their budget reconciliation they are going to cut Medicaid. The poor will face cuts to their healthcare while the insurance companies rake in more money.

--Companies facing tariffs on medications or precursors for medications will pass these costs onto consumers. The companies will make money while millions of Americans each day face the dilemma of paying for food or paying for medications. This tariff whiplash caused by the Republican Administration cannot include medications or their precursors.

Please fight for the elderly and the working poor. Please talk about these issues every day, particularly with news media in Republican-voting parts of the state. Side with the people, not corporations.
