A woman has an illness that no insurance company will cover and she won't make it till exchanges are set up, nor does she have the money to buy insurance from the pre-existing condition pool.

Our Red State Gov pulled funding for people who don't earn enough money or can't get insurance.

Under the "old" system, she would have had even less hope. Under the new system, hope is on the way, but not soon enough.

These are the true victims. Look on their faces.
