This is amazing, and really speaks to the importance of this issue and the power of our grassroots advocacy!
As of the official cosponsor counts yesterday, 9/12/17, here are some incredible statistics:
* The LTA is the most supported healthcare bill in the House, out of 407 bills!
* It is the eighth most supported healthcare bill in the Senate, out of 174 bills.
* It has the fifth most cosponsors of any House bill, out of 3,753 bills.
* And it is in the top 3% of all Senate bills, ranking number 40, out of 1,791 bills.
You can see this information in detail on four new charts seen here. This is incredible, but we can’t let up until the bill is passed. We especially need more Senate support.
Please continue to call your Senators if they are not already amongst our 35 Senate cosponsors. The phone numbers and call script are on our website.
Together, we will pass the LTA!
