This is a great way to strike back at your member of Congress for having supported the American Health Care Act.
Of course, if this method actually applies to you, it will be your descendants who get to enjoy the humor. Because you’ll already be dead.
A new website has sprung up in the aftermath of the Republican bill to repeal Obamacare. The site is called “Mail Me To The GOP.”
Here’s the basic idea. If you die because you lost your coverage under the new “Trumpcare” plan, they’ll send your cremated remains to the Congressperson of your choice.
I love it.
The site explains its purpose this way:
“Millions of Americans rely on protections and coverage from the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. The Republicans new bill will gut these protections and many will die. They deserve to know it. Fill out our form and we’ll help you get papers in order to send your ashes to a GOP member of Congress if you pass.”
If you use the site, you can choose which GOP House member will get your ashes. You even get to write out your own private message, explaining how Trumpcare killed you.
The site is so popular that it crashed shortly after its founder, Zoey Jordan Salsbury, put a notice about it on her Twitter feed.

The #AHCA repeal of #Obamacare will kill people. So we made a way to send your ashes to a GOP Congressperson: https://t.co/YNPS40tjUX

It’s important to let you know the site is more than a really funny way to gross out the GOP. It also contains a link for you to call your Senator, in an effort to stop the bill from making its way through the Senate. There’s another link that people can use to donate to the Congressional races that will be attempting to unseat those Republicans who voted to support the House bill.
So there you have it.
If you’re disgusted to find out that having had a C-section in the past makes a woman unable to get insurance through Trumpcare, you can strike back. If you are horrified to know that the poorer states will be allowed to deny insurance to people with pre-existing conditions, you’ll like this site a lot.
Or if you’re the one who is likely to die under Trumpcare, you can plan ahead. Choose the music for your funeral, pick out your own outfit, and make sure that a bag of your ashes is delivered to Capitol Hill.
