Call to Thank or Spank Your Senators for Their Votes on Healthcare Subsidies

Please make two quick calls to tell your Senators how you feel about their votes yesterday. Dial your first Senator. If they’re not already in your contacts, look them up here. Then use the appropriate script below:

[If your Senator is a Democrat, an Independent, or Collins, Murkowski, Hawley or Sullivan]

Hi, my name is __ and I’m a constituent from ___ calling to thank the Senator for voting for the ACA premium tax credit extensions yesterday. I am so disappointed that this bill didn’t pass, but I appreciate his/her being on the right side of it. If there is any chance to revisit this issue, I urge the Senator to do so ASAP as we’ll be facing a healthcare apocalypse crisis in January without these subsidies. Please ask the Senator to keep fighting to extend them and then start working towards Universal Healthcare. Thank you.

[If your Senator is a Republican who’s not Collins, Murkowski, Hawley or Sullivan]

Hi, my name is __ and I’m a constituent from ___calling to tell the Senator that I am furious and deeply disappointed that s/he didn’t support the ACA premium tax credit extensions yesterday. If there is any chance to revisit this vote I urge the Senator to do so as we’ll be facing a massive healthcare crisis come January without these subsidies. The ACA isn’t perfect, but it’s a million times better than an HSA with a paltry $1,500 in it… Please ask the Senator to do better next time. Thanks.

Then hang up and call your other Senator.
