28] –Protect Health Care (via MoveOn) [moveon-help@list.moveon.org] on Mon., Sept. 22 at 6 PM ET needs you to make phone calls to protect the ACA. Millions of Americans are facing a devastating health care cliff. In just a few months, expanded subsidies under Obamacare, also known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA), are set to expire. And if these subsidies lapse, premiums for ACA marketplace coverage will likely increase by hundreds of dollars, and millions could lose coverage altogether because they won’t be able to afford it. Trump and the Republicans have already cut millions of dollars in funding for Medicaid—and the longer Congress waits, the harder it will be for Americans to receive health care and stop this widespread health care crisis before it’s too late. In the phone bank to connect volunteers to other MoveOn members in key Republican states. Connect them to their reps in Congress to pressure them to extend these subsidies.  RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/moveon/event/796084/?utm_source=email&link_id=3&can_id=4b9d4061aec5469758759317ac0f5285&email_referrer=email_2892508&email_subject=can-you-join-us-on-922-to-make-phone-calls-to-protect-the-aca&
