Apr 2019

I want to let you know that we will not stop fighting for affordable and necessary healthcare in our country.

We know that we cannot afford to wait for our healthcare crisis to be debated and along with the many attempted repeals. Too many people have lost their lives and too many people in financial ruin.

This is the second time today that I was informed that a person has Stage (fill in the number) of (fill in the blank) cancer. I'm having all these emotions from anger to absolute terror. My mind is reeling.

Good luck to you. If you have the strength we would love to hear from you. Here's to you, here's to your fight, and here's to you hopefully winning this battle.

Sending strength, love and support your way.
