It is doubly painful to have to go through this along with gutting healthcare.

There is going to be a Medicare for All Rally on July 29th-July 30th at Hemisfair Park. Yes there are other Texans who want single payer.

We've also been protesting the AHCA including "die ins" in front of Will Hurd's office and a rally in front of Cruz's office.

You are not alone.
