Overturning ACA will put my daughter back on the public health care dole (SCHIP)

because she was on it before the ACA made her insurable and allowed us to move her to our own policy. If the ACA gets thrown out, her pre-existing condition makes SCHIP our only option again for her health insurance needs. And those needs are more expensive than ever, so the taxpayer's burden is increased by eliminating Obamacare, not the other way around. Ironic, isn't it?!

If that doesn't work, go to www.dailykos.com and search on "My Daughter" as a term found in the title or text of a post. The story generated a lot of interest - over 10k "shares", 6k "likes" and multiple repostings, one of which is here, on the web page of a Wisconsin doctor: http://healthcaremfh.blogspot.com/2012/03/friends-experience.html
So maybe you can use that link if the above does not work.

I got a contact from a producer for CNN Newsroom with Suzanne Malveaux. It said "Hoping to get in touch with Nancy Meyer for a potential interview on CNN." I replied with my contact info, but now that the news cycle has turned, I may or may not hear from them. Still, I'm hearing that my story needs to be heard, because conservatives don't realize how their plan is backfiring and liberals need the example to prove their case that the ACA is good policy. So share away!
