I am definitely lifting my Martini! As someone who has the mother of all preexisting conditions, this law will save my life! I used to be one layoff away from dying.

Not only that, our daughter turns 26 in September, you know what that means. Her boyfriend has no insurance, can't afford it, neither of them can. I have been living in fear that something catastrophic might happen to one of them, and we would have to sell our house to get them whatever treatment they might need.
