Erin is a type 1 diabetic. For years, she had been denied coverage because of this pre-existing condition. Thanks to the
#ACA today no one can refuse to insure her and companies can no longer charge her higher premiums for her other “pre-existing condition” -- being a woman. 3/7Show this thread -
Taylor is HIV positive. He wrote me the last time the GOP tried to repeal the
#ACA to tell me about the rough road he faced until he was able to receive care at@howardbrownhc thanks to the Affordable Care Act. We can’t leave Taylor out in the cold. We must#ProtectOurCare 4/7Show this thread -
Megan had a hard time finding insurance to cover pregnancy and childbirth. She found it thanks to the
#ACA and had a happy, healthy baby. She’s at risk of losing her care if the Trump administration takes us back to the days when being a woman was a pre-existing condition. 5/7Show this thread -
William is a former photographer who lost his eyesight (and thus his job and insurance) due to a massive stroke. Thanks to the
#ACA, he was able to find an affordable and robust insurance plan, which would be impossible if President Trump and AG Sessions get their way. 6/7Show this thread -
For Erin, Taylor, Megan, William, and more than 130 million Americans with pre-existing conditions, we must keep fighting to
#ProtectOurCare. 7/7Show this thread
