Affordable Care Act is saving lives in Morro Bay

I volunteer at the Community Dinners in Morro Bay where people who are hungry gather every Monday night to share a hot meal and companionship. Many are homeless or poor and have health care only because of the Affordable Care Act.

If this coverage is diminished to give the rich a tax break, some of the people I know will die. It’s just that simple. Please oppose changes to ACA and, particularly, Medicaid.
