This week opponents of the health care law are laying the groundwork to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), otherwise known as “Obamacare.” If they are successful, they take away health insurance from 30 million people across the country. The ACA has been a game changer for so many. So when I think about the devastating impact repeal will have—particularly on women, LGBTQ folks, low-income individuals, and communities of color—it can make me want to curl up in a ball. Thankfully, health champions in Congress are fighting back. Last night, several Senators stood up to express their support for the law across all platforms—tweeting, hosting conference calls with advocates, hosting a Facebook live, and holding the Senate floor to speak about the importance of the ACA for more than five hours. It was inspiring to watch. So for those, like me, who might need to be coaxed out from under your covers, here are five inspiring moments when the Senators made me want to stand up and fight back.
Thanks to these Senators and so many more in Congress who took a stand—and continue to stand strong—raising their voices in defense of the ACA. At NWLC, we’re committed to fighting alongside our champions in Congress to protect the affordable and lifesaving care that millions of women and families depend on.
