Dear MoveOn member,
There’s no sugar-coating it: Obamacare is in serious political trouble. And progressives need to step up and start fighting to save it right now.
Obviously, the law itself is still really good. But it’s clear to everyone that rollout has been badly botched—and now Republicans smell blood in the water. They think this is their chance to undo the whole thing. Worse yet, some Democrats in Congress are starting to waver too.1
To fight back, we need to push hard on Republicans trying to undermine the law—as well as Democrats thinking about caving. We also need to hold media outlets accountable for spreading false reports about the parts of the law that are working just fine.
But we don’t have much time. The House is voting tomorrow on a bill that would gut the whole law, and according to news reports some Democrats might vote for it as well.2 We’re aiming to raise $175,000 to make sure we have enough resources to turn the tide. Can you chip in $3?
Obviously, the law itself is really good? Really Good? The law is why people are seeing skyrocketing premiums, losing their plans, becoming uninsured and losing access to hospitals and care providers. The law did that.
But the law is, obviously, still really good – oh, and could you give us 3 bucks…we actually need to offset the triple digit increase in our health insurance premiums…(heh). –MoveOn.org
This must be one of those “and the band played MoveOn” moments..?
