        He's my hero too. I work with @AdyBarkan at @popdemoc and his story is incredibly powerful plus he's a brilliant person. Ady would be great for a profile: personally impacted, and deeply knowledgeable on the economics. DM me for contact info.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXgxKI7KEHs&feature=youtu.be …

        Hair raising! Despite ALS he is so rational. And so convincing - he appeals to the longer arc of time and what Sen Flake’s grandchildren will think of him.

        A hero indeed. As we know, it’s not laziness, it’s not malice that brings forward poverty. It’s illness, it’s accidents, it’s divorce, it’s a job loss it’s misfortune and a system that doesn’t offer an excellent education and prevents hunger. Who do we want to be?!? Do better!!

        I don’t understand how @GOP can ignore the reality that they are choosing to crush families that have catastrophic health situations. They blame the victims. #killthebill

        My friend gave her baby with a serious preexisting condition to Flake to hold while she pleaded with him to vote against ACA repeal. He voted for repeal anyway.

        For a second I thought he meant @JeffFlake was the hero... Thank goodness I misinterpreted! Flake has done some admirable things recently, but he still voted for every know type of ACA Repeal, including the #GOPTaxScamBill, despite knowing how it would devastate his constituents.

        It's one thing to be a line item on a sterile budget proposal, and quite another to be a human being impacted by that legislation. Welcome to our healthcare reality.
