Obama - Biden
 
Two years ago when health care reform was on the line, thousands of
Californians shared their personal stories -- and that helped shape the
national debate.
Then, President Obama accomplished what presidents from both parties had
tried to do for more than 70 years. He'll be the first to admit he didn't do
it alone -- he was bolstered by people like you who stood up to fight for
reform.
Now, as we approach the two-year anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, we
want to check in on the progress that's been made. This is going to be a key
issue in this election, and your stories will help show voters how this law
is already helping millions.
Share how health care reform has helped you or someone you know.
If you'd rather make a video to tell your story, we're all for it: Just
upload it to YouTube and send us the link.
Before reform, hundreds of thousands of families each year would find
themselves on the brink of bankruptcy just because someone got sick.
Pre-existing conditions allowed insurance companies to deny coverage to
children. A coverage gap for prescription drugs caught seniors by surprise,
costing them hundreds of dollars out of pocket.
But then you spoke up and stood with President Obama for change. And on
March 23rd, 2010, we made history by helping pass the Affordable Care Act.
Now, two years later, folks are starting to see the real-life impact of
reform.
In California alone, 12.1 million people no longer have a lifetime limit on
coverage; 2.3 million women have seen their coverage for preventive services
like mammograms expanded; 2.1 million seniors and people with disabilities
who have Medicare have already received free preventive care; and 356,000
young people who would otherwise be uninsured are staying on their parents'
insurance plans until they turn 26.
This isn't where the story ends. The other side is bent on taking down the
health reform we fought so hard for.
Will you help tell the story of the Affordable Care Act and why it matters
to families in California, and across the country?
