Real People

"Karen Hines is worried about getting two pieces of very bad news this June. The first would be her cancer returning. The second would be her health insurance becoming abruptly unaffordable."

This is the lead in the Huffington Post article today regarding the Supreme Court decision coming soon on the ACA. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/07/obamacare-subsidies-supreme-court_n_7503600.html?ncid=newsltushpmg00000003

Folks who purchased their insurance coverage through exchanges run by the Federal government, stand to lose their subsidies if the court rules in favor of the plaintiff. "Hines would be one of over 6.4 million people in 34 states whose subsidies would disappear." Read her story and also Joe Lucas' in the article.

Tomorrow, at 11:45 AM ET President Obama will give a speech about healthcare. You can sign up to watch. https://www.whitehouse.gov/health-care-in-america.  Please RSVP.
