WE DESERVE A GOVERNMENT UNINFECTED BY CONTEMPT FOR OUR HEALTH
Jump to today’s actions:
Background
Joe Biden will follow sound scientific and professional medical expertise to confront the COVID-19 crisis. He will protect and expand ACA healthcare protections for all Americans.
Trump and his GOP recklessly put their political agenda ahead of the health of all of us.
Knowing none of us have access to the same level of care he’s received, Trump tweeted “Don’t be afraid of COVID”.
Knowing he was infected, Trump exposed hundreds of people to COVID-19. No contact tracing is being done.
Trump and his GOP are the primary source of COVID-19 misinformation, including muzzling federal health agencies and manipulating CDC data.
Trump blocked FDA guidelines for safely releasing vaccines because he wants one before the election.
And finally, Trump is ordering a halt to negotiations on a vital COVID relief package while McConnell pushes through his Supreme Court Justice who, in the midst of a pandemic, will help to destroy the ACA.
Trump finally tweeted out some good advice: “PROTECT PREEXISTING CONDITIONS. VOTE.”
He’s right. To safeguard ACA protections and the health of all Americans, VOTE BLUE.
Make your plan to vote NOW. Help family and friends make their plan to vote NOW. Work to get out the vote NOW.
