You have no idea how happy I was to get insurance to cover my basic asthma meds and NOT have some insurance rep tell me I had a severe condition, and deny me simply because of their loopholes. So many people out there don't know how many lives are impacted by not being 100% healthy. So now here's an Asthmatic for Obama! (I do not have asthmaticus insurance companies!) 4 more years!

Because of the ACA my family is saving 11,000 dollars a year plus the 850 dollar rebate we received this summer. We were spending more on health insurance than house payments! There were times where we wondered how long we could go on paying this much. The day the ACA was passed I cried, because my family no longer had to worry about being able to afford health insurance along with paying bills for other basic expenses. I am so glad that this law passed, and has helped so many people.

I underwent neurosurgery at the age of 20 after experiencing a hemorrhagic stroke. I was covered by the health insurance my parents had at the time and it helped me on my road to recovery. I'm almost fully recovered and under COBRA for my health insurance now. This legislation means that health insurance companies now must accept me and it makes obtaining insurance much easier. Right now I'm waiting to hear from Highmark Blue Shield. The Healthcare law ensures an equal opportunity for all.
