Fix Health Care Now

Throughout September, as part of the “Sick of It! Fix Health Care Now” campaign, Protect Our Care highlighted four of our policy proposals to fix our health care system and the crisis Republicans created when they ripped $1 trillion from health care to fund tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations.

⚒️Reversing The Trump-GOP Medicaid Cuts
⚒️Restore Premium Tax Credits for Working Families After Republicans Jacked Up Premiums
⚒️Lowering Drug Costs for American Families
⚒️Moms Across the Country Are Left Without A Lifeline After GOP Medicaid Cuts

🚌 Starting October 5, Protect Our Care is hitting the road with a 4-week, 36-stop bus tour that will span 15 states and nearly 8,000 miles. At every stop, Protect Our Care will hear from patients, families, providers, advocates, and leaders about what rising costs and Republicans’ health care cuts mean in their communities, and what lawmakers need to do to fix it.
