A MESSAGE FROM CONGRESSWOMAN SEWELL: The March 31st deadline to complete enrollment for insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act is just a week away! If you or someone you know is in need of health insurance, please urge them to visit healthcare.gov today. This is one of the final, really big steps in the implementation of this historic law, so it’s important to remember why we fought for it in the first place. The Affordable Care Act benefited many of my constituents on day one—ensuring coverage for those with pre-existing conditions, allowing young people to stay on their parents’ plans for an extended time period, helping seniors get better prescription drug coverage, and providing access to quality care for those who otherwise could not afford it. Almost 30,000 children in the 7th Congressional District now have health insurance and seniors in Alabama saved over $132 million in prescription costs in 2013 alone. Those are things worth fighting for! My Democratic colleagues and I have stood up to Republicans in Congress time and time again as they have fought to roll back our progress and prevent 42 million Americans, including 600,000 Alabamians, from getting the health coverage they deserve. Since my first campaign in 2010, Ive said that access to healthcare should be a right, not a fight, and I believe thats true more than ever today! If you don’t have insurance, you only have until March 31st to sign up. Click here and visit the ACA site to get started on your application now. Thank you for your support in the fight to improve our health care system-- and thank you for continuing to stand with me in the fights yet to come. All the best, Terri sewellforcongress
