You can also use this messaging template from @FamiliesUSA: 

As your constituent, I ask you to protect the progress we’ve made under the Affordable Care Act in health care and coverage. Please insist on a plan that will assure we continue to have quality, affordable health insurance before agreeing to repeal the law.

Repealing the Affordable Care Act could harm millions, double the number of uninsured by 2019, and throw the U.S. health care system into disarray. It could take affordable health care coverage away from 30 million people, including children and working families covered under the ACA’s Medicaid expansion.

Your constituents deserve to know what is in a replacement plan and see proof that it will provide better, more affordable care, coverage, and consumer protections than the Affordable Care Act does BEFORE any repeal.

With you, we will defend our hard-fought gains and continue to move forward.
