The Senate continues to work behind closed doors to decide the future of healthcare. Senator Flake is one of 10 senators that might vote no on the AHCA, according to several sources. Please CALL AND/OR WRITE to urge him to 1) make discussions on the Senate version of the health care bill open and transparent. 2) protect our families and grandparents from losing health coverage. If you have a personal story, send him photos or stories of people in your life that might be hurt (or die) if the AHCA becomes a reality.  Call Senator Flake at (202) 224-4521 Call Senator McCain at (202) 224-2235 And/OR Email a letter before this Friday, June 23 to have it hand-delivered by our DC partners at Herd on the Hill.
