Join in Sending One Message to the Senate: Protect Medicaid June 15 and June 22
The Senate version of the American Health Care Act (AHCA) could be introduced any day and passed as early as the Fourth of July.
Please join AAP members across the country in flooding the phone lines and inboxes of U.S. Senators, urging them to vote "no" on any proposal that cuts or caps Medicaid funding.
AAP has designated two "days of action" to amplify pediatricians' calls, emails and social media messages: June 15 and June 22. Please take a few minutes on these days to speak up for kids.
North Dakota Senators John Hoeven and Heidi Heitkamp need to be committed to protecting Medicaid, they need to hear that they have our support. Your voice allows them to raise theirs in opposition to a higher level. Each message is reviewed and logged, and collectively, our voices can make a difference.
Two phone calls take less than 5 minutes.
Call Senators John Hoeven at 202 224 2551 and Heidi Heitkamp at 202 224 2043.
Your message can be as short and simple: "Hello. I am a pediatrician from North Dakota and a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics. I'm calling to urge the Senator to continue to speaking out against the AHCA. We are at a historic high for insurance coverage for children - 92% in North Dakota - and the AHCA would take us backward. I urge the Senator to continue to oppose the AHCA as well as any funding cuts or caps to Medicaid, which could lead to enrollment and benefit cuts for 61,525 high-risk children across Minnesota and the country."
