This was an amendment to the AHCA - to remove Congress' exemption from coverage by the bill they're about to vote on.

The Republicans give us a lot of ammunition, but for some reason the Democratic Party, and most of our individual candidates, fail to effectively use that ammunition when campaigning against the Repubs--if they even bother to use it at all!

The lines were almost all open meaning that not enough people are calling! I (once again) broke down in tears when I told them my own true story: I have a two chronic condition and without the ACA and subsidies I will die in a few years after enduring extreme pain the entire time and I need surgeries and meds to reduce the pain until I die. This is exhausting for me to continue to do. I am sick!!!!!
