I apologize to everyone that Georgia will not be able to join the call because we are in our quarterly council meeting today. Please forgive us and we look forward to the updates. Keep up the good work!

All--

Just a reminder that we are scheduled to have an update call tomorrow (Thursday) at 2 pm EST.  Call-in number is  1-719-457-0816.  Passcode: 751426. 

Tomorrow we will be sharing the latest updates from the Hill.  The news this afternoon is that McConnell plans to move forward on a vote next week, and that there are a number of meetings today and tomorrow to try to get the votes to move forward.  Recent stories are here and here.

The fight is not over, so we need to keep up our advocacy.  We should thank the Senators that have come out against the BCRA and/or a "repeal and delay" plan, particularly Senators Capito, Murkowski, Collins, and Portman, and ask them to stay strong.  And we need to keep up our messages against the BCRA or any bill that cuts or caps Medicaid.

Thanks for all you are doing, and we'll talk to you tomorrow.
