I know for example, Michelle Lewis from Palisades Park, New Jersey when Michelle lost her husband, john suddenly last year she also lost the health coverage she had through his job. But she was able to get coverage through the Affordable Care Act's marketplace and qualify for a subsidy that made it more affordable for her. Today, she's insured and she can manage her diabetes and her heart disease and her autoimmune disease because of her coverage. She said that if she lost her affordable, affordable health care, she would have to sell her home and be in financial crisis. Losing the ACA for Marat Bowman, who's a 49 year old dad with twin boys and a football coach. From New Jersey, he said that before the ACA was passed, he didn't even go to the doctor because he was afraid he couldn't afford it, putting his own health in danger. After the ACA, he was able to get affordable coverage. And when he felt sick a few years back, he made a doctor's appointment and was diagnosed with diabetes. Today, thank God His condition is improved. But he said and I quote, now I have a pre existing condition my insurance covers my medications, my equipment to monitor my diabetes. If that's taken away from me, what's going to happen? I can't afford those things on my own. I know this reality, we must know this reality. We must listen to Americans right now who are saying openly I'm going to the polls because of my fears on health care. And yet we are going through instead of waiting to listen to our fellow Americans showing that grace that they should decide we are rushing forward
