In a very sneaky move Senate Republicans are planning a vote at 2AM tonight to confirm Tom Price for Health and Human Services. He is their champion of repealing Obamacare and privatizing Medicare. He embodies “Make America Sick Again”. Lee Zeldin, are you with us? Or not? And by “us” I mean everyone in CD1 who is going to suffer from the consequences of lack of affordable medical care.
Senator Ron Wyden would like this news to go viral.

The Republicans are planning a vote at 2 a.m. tonight to confirm Rep. Tom Price as head of the Department of Health and Human Services.

And the Republicans seem to have no problem with his plan to privatize Medicare and decimate the coverage millions of Americans rely on.
Don’t let them sneak this one through. SHARE this and tell your friends to urge Senate Republicans to vote NO on Price!

We may not be able to prevent Tom Price from being nominated. However, there is another reason to charge ahead in supporting the ACA and this one is strategic.

This list is not exhaustive, but these are the main promises that stand out – and that is what counts in messaging…
