Growing up,
I was diagnosed with a serious illness and spent three months in the
hospital. When I got better, my grandparents, who raised me, began looking
for an insurance policy that would cover me in the future.

But they couldn’t find such a policy because of my previous illness. Not
from any insurer. Not at any price. They had to pay for my health care out
of pocket and make enormous sacrifices to do so — all because I had a
pre-existing condition.

That’s why I got into public service. I saw my grandparents stay up late
at night, worried sick that I would fall ill again and that they wouldn't
be able to afford my care. I thought no one should ever have to go through
that.

But I knew they weren’t the only ones. I’m one of 133 million Americans
who have the label "pre-existing condition" attached to our care — and
before the Affordable Care Act was passed, many of us could be denied
coverage.

Insurance companies can no longer discriminate against someone based on
their pre-existing condition. I championed health reform and wrote the
amendment to allow young people to stay on their parent’s insurance plan
up to age 26. Now, when I meet with young people across Wisconsin, almost
every hand in the room goes up when I ask who is on their parent’s health
insurance.

So, you can imagine my frustration whenever Republicans attack our health
care or threaten protections for folks with pre-existing conditions —
including my Republican opponent who called my amendment a “stupid idea”
and said young people on their parent’s health insurance need to “grow up
and move on.”

If Eric Hovde flips this seat and secures the Senate majority for
Republicans, the ACA will be on the chopping block and countless Americans
could find themselves in a place where insurance companies, once again,
write all the rules. That’s why I need your help to defeat him.

Democratic Senate majority? That’s the only way we’ll prevent Republicans
from rolling back the progress we’ve made expanding access to affordable
health care.
