To any republican senator reading this, please vote NO to Trump's Healthcare

This is a long shot but this is serious for me and my family. If ANY republican senator were to read this message, I ask that you vote NO to Trump's health proposal. The reason is because I was recently laid-off from my job with no company severance benefits. Unemployment benefits and savings prevents my family from getting medicaid, so we are insured with an Obamacare plan. If ACA goes away, my family and children will not have health insurance. My wife is a stay at home mother to care for our children. Please, i ask that you vote no. Thank you!

1. Are you sure savings has anything to do with eligibility for Medicaid?

You might want to double check that. It's true for food stamps but not Medicaid, at least in California.

2. We were denied.

We live in SC. We spoke with a medicaid caseworker and said we were ineligible. My unemployment benefit is too high for us to get medicaid.

3. I am in the same boat along with millions of others.

I'll lose my 500 sq foot apt in 18 months. My parents (they are 83) will have to go into their savings to help pay for my needed surgeries for the remainder of my life which won't be long now. As it is 25% of my disability income goes toward the ACA and that is with subsidies. I live alone and in a very high cost of living are to be close to my family. What pisses me off is I taught school for over 15 years and had to leave before I was eligible for retirement and gave up their insurance since it was too much and now I can't get it back. I went on one vacation in 10 years, worked 50-60 hour weeks, cut my own hair, didn't go to movies or entertainment, didn't buy clothes not on sale, have not bought any new furniture, carpet etc in 25 years, no eating out, ......
This is how I am rewarded for saving every cent like I was supposed to do as a responsible citizen. I will lose it all so quickly. I am sooooo glad McCain could afford his surgery (insert sarcasm here).

5. I messaged every republican to vote no. I found Joni Ernst personal facebook page

i emailed every republican to vote no. I actually found Joni Ernst personal facebook page and messaged her. Hopefully she'll read it before voting.

I think she plans to vote yes. Her government page states she wants to repeal and replace aca. so maybe we can change her mind.

You can find her page by searching facebook's email messenger but not by profile search. click on the email button and click new message and start typing Senator Joni Ernst and her personal profile will pop up. profile picture is of her, husband, and her daughter. most of all politicians personal pages are unsearchable but hers came up. so it is worth a shot to email her. definitely be respectful and straight to the point when messaging her. no slandering or anything like that. we could possibly change her mind.
