If the American Health Care Act were ever the reason you died, you’d have one last chance to make a big statement thanks to a new website.

Yesterday, the American Health Care Act passed through the House, creating panic across Democratic parts of country. After all, the first time the AHCA came up for a vote, it didn’t get through because 24 million people stood to lose their health insurance. This time many Medicaid recipients and people with preexisting conditions saw the same writing on the wall.

There is very real concern that people will die as a direct result of the passage of the AHCA. Yesterday, people took to Twitter and cable news to share their personal stories of hospitalization and disease. Those stories would not have had the same ending in an America where the AHCA was law. Someone who knows that better than most is Zoey Jordan Salsbury, who made the website mailmetothegop.com.

The point of the site is simple: a user can select a GOP representative and have their ashes mailed directly to them in the event they die because of their illness after no longer being covered. The site’s landing page says this:

1. Better yet, divide the ashes in to 215 parts

and send a little to each of the assholes that voted for it.

3. My sister will throw my ashes into they eyes of friends and family who voted for Trump.

I will be sure she earmarks a big pile of them for Joe Wilson, as well.

6. Makes me wonder where I would want my ashes to go

even if it would never happen?

5. wonder if the ashes will be treated like an anthrax scare

my personal favorite idea is that when the diagnosis comes, i transport myself to the congressmans office.
sit up against a big tree, and eat a bullet. let his staff clean up the mess and explain to the press

7. Mailing their obituaries to all who voted for

this bill will be just as effective, and I think will cover more people.

8. Had cremains mailed to me

I had the cremains (ashes) of a relative who died in another state mailed to me. Let me tell you, even in a light plastic container, they are heavy.
