KEEP UP THE PRESSURE FOR OUR HEALTHCARE 

caely.barrett@gmail.com

Background

No matter where we live or who we vote for we all deserve to be healthy. But Trump and his GOP only care about themselves/their donors. While 200,000 Americans have died from COVID, they funneled money for live-saving masks to military contractors and strive to install a Supreme Court justice who will overturn the ACA.

We have been calling, writing, protesting for our healthcare. Democrats have listened. The Democrat led House passed the HEROES Act in 5 months ago which (has) 

  • Free COVID testing for all 

  • Additional money for Medicaid

  • Money for PPE 

  • Expands SNAP

  • Expands paid family/medical/sick leave 

  • Extends unemployment 

  • Another $1200 stimulus check

  • Moratorium on evictions and foreclosures

  • Student debt relief.

Democrats have listened. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will address COVID day one, improving testing, access to protective equipment, and helping our schools. Their stimulus plan to help us out of the COVID economy includes climate plan and green jobs. 

Keep up the pressure for our healthcare. Call Congress today and work to get out the vote for Joe, Kamala, Democrats across-the-board.
