Under the plan to repeal the ACA, 20 million people
in our country will be without health insurance, without healthcare. What if you were one of those people? This question is not an academic one for me. I know what it is like
to live without health insurance. When my mom brought my brothers and
me to this country--I am an immigrant--her job did not provide health
benefits. My greatest fear growing up as a little girl in this country
was that my mom would not be able to go to work if she got sick. If she
wasn't able to go to work, where would money for food and rent come
from?
