7. At the moment, I'd take a deep breath and see what the Senate turns out

May 2017

The House Bill has only a slim chance of passing the Senate. Remember Senators need to appeal to their entire state not specifically Gerrymandered districts, so I don't think they can be as free wielding with their knife to our ACA.

I've read that the Senate isn't even voting on the house bill but rather they are crafting their own health care roll back.

We're not quite at the end of our rope. Close, but yesterday was more a photo op than implemented policy. Trump needed some good press and the subject of the Comey hearing off the front pages (as if).

Call your Senators!! They will pay attention to the respectful yet firm messages they hear from constituents!
