For the August recess, put pressure on congress to protect and improve access to healthcare!
We can use the congressional recess period in August (August 1-Sept 4) to put pressure on members of Congress to protect Medicaid, defend the ACA, and reject any renewed efforts to resurrect a Republican health care repeal plan cut Medicaid and other health care programs in next year's budget.
