NEW YORK – Jennifer Flynn, director of CPD’s Healthcare Justice campaign, released the following statement alerting the media to the likelihood that the Cassidy/Graham bill will pass the Senate next week:

“While the media briefly takes their eyes off the ball, Republicans have been quietly amassing support for the latest version of Trumpcare, a bill from Senators Bill Cassidy and Lindsey Graham. This bill is closer to passing than the skinny repeal ever was and could pass as early as next week.

"We will defeat this with protests in D.C. and in-district next week. We will keep up the pressure on Republicans until Trumpcare is defeated once and for all.”
