Sign the petition.  Tell Congress: If you don’t believe in publicly-funded health coverage, don’t accept it for yourself.<http://petitions.moveon.org/keystoneprogress/sign/congress-if-you-vote-1?source=c.em.cp&r_by=16704163>



The Republican-controlled House of Representatives and Senate have plans to cut Medicare and Medicaid and to repeal coverage for 20 million Americans who are covered by the Affordable Care Act. Even some Democrats are on record to make cuts to these vital public healthcare programs.

Essentially, Republicans in Congress are telling senior citizens and the poor that tax cuts for billionaires and millionaires are more important than providing a health care safety net for our most vulnerable.

But did you know that Members of Congress get great taxpayer funded healthcare? In fact, they get one of the best health care plans in the world.

It strikes us as the height of hypocrisy to be accepting government-provided, taxpayer-subsidized health insurance while denying seniors, the disabled and the poor the basic coverage that the ACA, Medicare and Medicaid provide.

That’s why we’re circulating this petition demanding that members of Congress who vote to cut the ACA, Medicare and Medicaid stop accepting taxpayer-subsidized health insurance for themselves.  If they believe our most vulnerable citizens should buy insurance on the corporate, for-profit market, shouldn’t they do the same?

Sign the petition.  Tell Congress: If you don’t believe in publicly-funded health coverage, don’t accept it for yourself.<http://petitions.moveon.org/keystoneprogress/sign/congress-if-you-vote-1?source=c.em.cp&r_by=16704163>
