HEALTH CARE LAW DEBATE HITS HOME

We met a client today who has strong feelings about the health care law, and for good reason.  She noticed a lump several months ago.  She did not have it check out because at the time she had no insurance.  When she got insurance under the Affordable Care Act, she did go to the doctor.  She was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer.

It is a great reminder that in the midst of the debate about the disastrous health care website roll-out, mass confusion about signing up and the real costs involved for some families, it has made a profound difference in the lives of others.  For this client, it's not about the politics, it's about a person fighting for her life.
