TAKE ACTION TODAY: Health Care for Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) is at Risk

Wed, 01/19/2011 - 10:27

We have an urgent request. Health care reform for AAPIs is at risk. We can't let the new leadership in Congress return us to the days when insurance companies were free to do whatever they want with no accountability, such as denying coverage to children with asthma and other pre-existing conditions, or doubling premiums, and imposing higher costs on families and small businesses.
 A House vote to repeal health care reform is scheduled for TODAY, Wednesday, January 19th.

As part of that ignorance, we were saddened that we would never see our daughter get married or have a family.
