In the midst of two years of heated debate over the health care law, we cannot lose sight of problems that existed with our broken health care system that drove us to seek reform in the first place. The health care law is already helping millions of Virginia’s seniors, young adults, children and women.
Over the next two weeks Virginia Organizing will be holding events statewide to showcase the many ways the health care law is already helping Virginians. We’ll also be calling on politicians like Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, Governor Bob McDonnell and Rep. Eric Cantor to stop trying to block the law.
