I did start an OP on it!

ACTION ALERT: how to stop or slow down the attack by the GOP on the Affordable Care Act (Obama Care). A friend shared with me today what Senator Elizabeth Warren is advising people to do. She wrote It is simple:

A friend called Senator Warren to ask what she can do to help push back against the ACA repeal. Here's what she was told by one of Warren's staffers:
"Senator Warren's staff member told me what would help the most would be to call the five Republican senators who have broken away from the GOP to demand a slow down of the repeal. Tell them how much you appreciate their efforts to stop the train wreck and share your story, if you have one you'd like to share (about pre-existing conditions, etc).
They are:
Senator Bob Corker - (202) 224-3344
Senator Lisa Murkowski - (202) 224-6665
Senator Rob Portman - (202) 224-3353
Senator Susan Collins - (202) 224-2523
Senator Bill Cassidy - (202) 224-58
