If you want to stop #Trumpcare: call your senator (here's their number)

Senate republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare with proposals bearing ridiculous titles like "skinny repeal". 

"Skinny repeal" would repeal individual and employer mandates as well as the medical device tax, and it hasn't even been scored by the C.B.O. (though repealing the individual mandate means premiums would spike and the number of uninsured would rise: according to C.B.O. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/25/upshot/skinny-obamacare-repeal-would-clash-with-republicans-health-care-promises.html)


The NYTimes also has an article about what US citizens can do to try to prevent any sort of #Trumpcare proposals from taking effect:

The article makes some important points (among them):

 "The Republican leadership’s strategy for repealing Obamacare has depended on secrecy.

No hearings. Little public debate. Few town-hall meetings. Rushed votes. And, in a depressing spectacle yesterday, a Senate vote to move a bill forward even though neither the senators themselves nor their constituents know which bill is actually under consideration."

"Is there anything that concerned citizens can do? Yes, there is.

“The next 24 hours are critical. The public blowback must be immediate and overwhelming,”

Topher Spiro, a former Congressional aide who opposes the various bills, wrote yesterday."

I was searching the web trying to find John McCain's number (the senator who represents me. McCain's number is (202) 224-2235 btw). & I just thought I'd just post a link to the site where I got the senator's information from (in case you'd like to call your own senator (which I think you should)):
