"Hold My Earrings," Because I Won't Stop Fighting AHCA !!! - Diabetes Stories

“Hold my earrings,” because Congress pissed me off and I won't stop fighting the shitshow that is AHCA!!

Yesterday Republican (and a few Dems who could be bought,) lawmakers celebrated with beer and party in The White House Rose Garden after approving the American HealthCare Act. A bill that most Republicans didn’t bother to read, in order to take health care away from millions of Americans. 

A bill that if approved by the Senate, will mean the return of Pre-Existing Conditions Clauses, High-risk pools, and lifetime health care caps to every American - and no matter where they get their insurance from.

A bill that categorizes pregnancy; adoptions in progress, rape, and heavy periods, as pre-existing conditions. 

A bill categorizing almost every disease and chronic condition as a pre-existing condition - except for Erectile Dysfunction and being and asshat.  

GO FIGURE.

Bottom line: Diseases and chronic conditions don’t care what side of the fence you sit, and having a preexisting condition mean that you’re a bad person - it means you're fucking human-being! 

Pre-existing conditions are not character flaws or life style choices, not should they bankrupt families and individuals. 

God doesn’t punish people by giving us pre-existing conditions, but many of our lawmakers do for having them.  

And now 12 Republican Senators (so much for bipartisanship and working together for all Americans,) who are filled with contempt and anger and don't seem to like women very much, are in charge of fine tuning the American Health Care Act.

Feel safe yet? 

Neither do I. 

I'm angry and I am going to fight like hell - And I'm ready to #CleanTheHouse - I know you are too. 

Let’s pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, because the battle Royale is about to begin

. 

Start by calling your State Senators, and follow up by calling every Senator in the United States and let them no how angry you are. 

Then call your rep in Congress and let them know that angry constituents = angry voters. 

And call all the Congressional reps (and on both sides of the fence,) who did vote NO. 

20 Republican Congressman went against their party and the majority them did for the right reasons - namely their constituents with Pre-existing conditions.

We are this battle together - and we will fight to make it right. 

Don't give up and don't give in!
