You have to call, especially the Republicans:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced Tuesday that the Senate tax bill will include language to repeal ObamaCare’s individual mandate, which could make it tougher for moderate Republicans to support.
Conservatives led by GOP Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas), Rand Paul (Ky.) and Tom Cotton (Ark.) pushed hard to include the provision, which would eliminate the federal penalty on people who do not buy health insurance. President Trump has also pushed for the provision to be part of the tax bill.
McConnell told reporters that adding the individual mandate repeal will make it easier to muster 50 votes to pass the bill.
“We’re optimistic that inserting the individual mandate repeal would be helpful and that’s obviously the view of the Senate Finance Committee Republicans as well,” McConnell said.
It will raise an estimated $300 billion to $400 billion over the next year that could be used to pay for lowering individual and business tax rates even further.
Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the Senate’s No. 3 Republican, told reporters there has been a whip count and he is confident Republicans can pass a tax bill that includes a measure to repeal the mandate.

As we’ve learned this year, no one in power does the right thing unless too many to ignore demand it.
Don’t sit around, passively accepting mass slaughter as something we can’t change. We can. Call your senators and congressman. Tell them to reinstate the assault weapons ban, and no way in hell should they support lifting the restrictions on gun silencers.

Bill Cassidy (R-LA) has been having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week. He thought he was being a good player by co-signing on Lindsay Graham’s latest attempt to take health care away from millions of Americans for the sake of Republican donor’s tax cuts. But then, he got the full force of the “Kimmel… Continue reading “BREAKING: Bill Cassidy says new GOP healthcare bill to be introduced this week”

Especially if you have a Republican senator. They will vote after lunch to start dismantling Obamacare:

Your call makes it less likely Republican senators will support it. Call!
