As Republican lawmakers and President Donald Trump furiously work to convince lawmakers to support their health care bill, one petition is calling for congress to lose their health coverage.

This online petition is calling for the revoking of health care subsidies for lawmakers and their families. It's already gained over half a million signatures.

Petitioner Daniel Jimenez, who lost his uninsured father to cancer, argues, "some politicians cannot relate to the cost burden experienced by families across the nation because they've historically received health benefits that most Americans have not."

CBO estimate confirms: #Trumpcare is dead on arrival&I will do all that I can to ensure its defeat FYI, House GOP handpicked the CBO director. Their own guy is the one saying the bill is a humanitarian catastrophe waiting to happen. The CBO warns us at least 14 million Americans will lose their insurance by 2018 under the GOP health care plan Plan where 24M people lose health care shouldn't be called a "health care plan" Should be called "a plan to take away people's heath care" Kicking 24 million people off health care to finance a huge tax cut for the wealthy does not seem like a winning populist message According to CBO, a 64-year-old with income of $26,500 pays $1,700 for ACA coverage. Under Ryan bill: $14,600. More than half their income. In recent days, GOP began saying its plan's goal was not necessarily to cover everyone, but to cut costs. CBO now confirms it does neither Trump vocally promised not to cut Medicaid. The CBO says that his plan amounts to a 25% cut to Medicaid by 2026. Hot public policy take: a plan that takes Healthcare access away from a population the size of Canada sounds bad. #AHCA #CBO A 64-year-old making $26,500 a year could see a ***758%*** increase in their premiums ($14,600 yr vs $1700), plus much higher copays: CBO🚨 Up Next See Gallery Discover More Like This HIDE CAPTION SHOW CAPTION of SEE ALL BACK TO SLIDE

Efforts to help lawmakers relate to the struggles of common Americans comes as the Congressional Budget Office reported the American Health Care Act would cause 14 million people to lose their health insurance by 2018.

This will largely be due to younger people opting out of insurance. However, later on that number will grow to 24 million as older and sicker Americans are unable to afford the new plan.

Jimenez writes, "If congress is willing to drastically cut health care subsidies for most people, are they willing to have the same rules apply to them and their families?"

The petition will be delivered to congress once it reaches 1 million signatures.
