State-funded insurance saved my mom’s life when she was working for a small business with no health plan and was diagnosed with breast cancer. Please tell your Senators that you support health care reform. Below is the email I sent to both my Senators this morning:
**********
Dear Senator,
I am troubled by the negative press that health care reform proposals are receiving.
I am a young, uninsured Iowan. I’m a graduate student who works part-time at the public library. I am not eligible for health insurance from my employer because of my part-time status, and health insurance from the University is too expensive for my budget as a student. There are hundreds of thousands of other hard-working, uninsured Americans just like me.
