Feb 2012

My niece who was diagnosed with cancer at 2, had less than a 10% chance to survive and beat the odds. ... well, she is 16 now. And for the past 14 years, the only coverage that she could get was for simple illnesses and sports injuries. She will probably have issues later in life due to the chemo.

She's now FULLY COVERED and for a reasonable price. She will never face a CAP on what her coverage can be ... she can't be dropped for he "pre-existing condition".

The GOP would have had no problem letting her, and those like her be unable to ever obtain coverage. Obamacare prevents that.

Bottom line ... the "compassionate conservative Christians" are not compassionate nor Christian.
