We know that so many folks are going through a challenging time right now. If you’d like to hit pause on these emails while this crisis is at its worst, just let us know here.

Team,

Today marks 10 years since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law—the biggest step in generations toward making health care more affordable and accessible for all Americans.

It’s a sobering anniversary. As we face an unprecedented public health crisis, the importance of preserving and expanding access to care is clearer than ever.

What’s just as clear is that health care is on the ballot in this election. Mitch McConnell and his allies have tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act over 70 times, with no hesitation about stripping protections for 22 million Americans, including those with pre-existing conditions. Right now, even in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, Mitch’s allies are working overtime to get the courts to gut the law.

Kentucky can’t afford another term of this sabotage. I’m running to be a champion for expanding access to health care, and I plan to defeat Mitch McConnell.

Our first FEC deadline of the year is just days away, and we’re relying on online donations more than ever right now. If you can, will you chip in today to build our campaign?

As the mother of three young kids and the daughter of one of the first women to graduate from the University of Kentucky’s medical school, health care is a deeply moral issue for me.

While the ACA is not perfect, through Kynect and expanded Medicaid, it enabled many Kentuckians—especially those with pre-existing conditions—to get affordable health insurance for the first time. Now, we need to move forward with bipartisan solutions to improve the ACA: by adding a public option, by enabling Medicare buy-in for those over 55, and by reining in the unacceptable cost of prescription drugs.

Mitch doesn’t want to get us there—he wants to take us back to the days when so many Kentuckians had no choice but to go without coverage. In the last election, he received more financial support from Big Pharma than any other senator. They’ve funded him to the tune of millions of dollars over 30 years.

Ten years ago, our society took a huge step forward to enshrine health care as a basic right. Today, will you help fight for that progress by chipping in before our fundraising deadline?

Thank you,
Amy
