Tell you congressman ACA needs CPR

February 12, 2017 11:01 pm • Last Updated: February 12, 2017 11:05 pm

How ironic this Valentine's Day that President Donald Trump, House Speaker Paul Ryan, and all who voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act without a replacement, created a national heart attack that is flat-lining most Americans in need of healthcare! This action has added uncertainty, anxiety, and stress to millions of Americans and jeopardizes their health and wellbeing. Where are these legislators' hearts, their compassion, and courage to implement affordable health care for the common good of all Americans?

I urge all Americans to contact their congressmen an encourage them to administer CPR to an affordable healthcare program for all Americans.
