My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

So many folks aren't aware their health insurance premiums are about to double if Congress doesn't act. This is what the Dems are fighting for and the Republicans are refusing to work with them, shutting down the government instead of helping people afford health insurance. Please call your reps!
