Call on Congressman McCarthy to #Fight4OurHealth

Our community is coming together and calling on Congressman Kevin McCarthy to represent the people of his district. He must stand against those who are working to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Nearly half of the population in Kern and Tulare Counties relies on some form of subsidized insurance. Tens of thousands more benefit from the Affordable Care Act because of provisions like extending dependent coverage to age 26 and removing “pre-existing condition” clauses from insurance. Covered California and tax subsidies to small businesses have given people more freedom to move from job to job and small businesses can better compete for the best talent.

We can’t go back to a time when so many more Americans had to rely on emergency rooms for primary care or forgo treatment altogether. Nowhere is the need so great as in California’s Central Valley. Our congressman needs to carry the message from his district to Washington D.C.: This law is saving lives in California and we are ready to fight for our health.

Join us on Dec. 20 in front of Congressman McCarthy’s office to make your voice heard. #Fight4OurHealth

Details:
When: Tuesday, Dec. 20 at 10 a.m.
Where: 4100 Empire Dr #150, Bakersfield
