With Barrett's nomination, those of us who depend on healthcare to remain & be improved are probably feeling overwhelmed. There is no stimulus relief in site. The Pandemic rages on and cities are opening. And the #ACA is on the chopping block starting the day after the election👇🏽

I wish I could say, it's all going to be fine. But unfortunately we have seen just how much of a priority healthcare has been to the legislative and executive branches. So, then what can we do? Well, we still live in a democratic republic so we can use our voice. Here's how:👇🏽

➡️Write to your Senators & Congressperson. Demand a viable healthcare plan to replace the #ACA in case its struck down. HSA, Block Grants, High Risk Pools will NOT due. Lower drug prices, Universal TeleHealth, in addition to Pre-Existing Conditions & other ACA protections.👇🏽

➡️Write to the White House and demand to see the President's healthcare plan he has been promising for three years.
➡️Share your stories on Social Media Platforms using the hashtag #SaveOurHealthcare
➡️Vote for those leaders who have already shown us their healthcare plans.
👇🏽

➡️If you have a good relationship with your GI, ask them to join the @AmerGastroAssn 's advocacy group. They can also advocate to legislators with advocacy groups like: @CrohnsColitisFn , @TheDDNC & @IBDMoms .
➡️Share your stories on ibdmoms.org with your legislators

I'm not going to lie. I'm scared. But I do have some hope. We have witnessed advocates and activists do great things with bigger obstacles. I also believe in the power of us as patients and caregivers. We are powerful when we stand together! #SaveOurHealthcare #IBDMoms #CCML
