I hope my senators Burr and Tillis are listening, along with my Rep. Walter Jones.

Make no mistake, your constituents are informed about the Graham-Cassidy health care bill. We know that it would continue barring insurance companies from turning people away because of preexisting conditions, but we also know it would allow insurers to charge higher rates to people who have current or past medical conditions. In other words, unaffordable for them. I implore you to do the right thing for the people, not the party.
