Hold John Faso Accountable

Rep. Faso: 

You: I’m calling to express my disappointment and anger that Rep Faso voted for TumpCare. I’d like to know why he would vote to take away coverage from 24 million Americans.

Staffer: Thank you for calling. Rep. Faso voted for the American Health Care Act because Obamacare was collapsing and this bill will fix it.

You: That is wrong. The ACA isn’t perfect, but it has expanded access to coverage to millions of Americans. It created protections that ensure that people with pre-existing conditions wouldn’t be denied access to health care, or be forced to pay higher premiums. Instead of working to make health care better for Americans, Rep. Faso has put millions of American lives at risk. This is unacceptable.

Staffer: Actually, the American Health Care Act contained provisions that ensure that people with pre-existing conditions aren’t charged more for their health care. More than $130 billion is allocated to protect American consumers.

You: That is a lie. He promised me that you wouldn’t vote on a bill that eliminated protections for people with pre-existing conditions. TrumpCare creates a giant loophole for insurance companies to charge people with pre-existing more for their health care. As someone [with/who knows someone with] a [pre-existing condition], I’m angry that he would betray his word in order to give Donald Trump a political win.

If Rep. Faso gets another chance to vote on TrumpCare, I demand that he vote no. I also want him to justify his vote to his constituents by holding a town hall this recess.

Staffer: Thank you, I will pass along your concern.

You: Please do, and take down my contact info, I would like a written explanation for his vote.
