Living in New York is expensive and more employers are buying health insurance that has much more limited coverage. Even big unions are doing this--AND getting exceptions approved to not cover important things. If we had single-payer health care, we would not have to worry about these things. It would be like Medicare for All.

A medical marijuana bill is headed for a vote in the Senate after a committee unanimously voted to support the measure. Our Governor, John Lynch can veto the bill, but that veto can be overruled with enough legislative support.

The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing legal challenges to the Affordable Care Act this week. A decision to overturn the law or any of its provisions could result in the loss of benefits to seniors, women, children and families. Recently, Attorney General Cuccinelli stated that unless there are criminal penalties, he would be comfortable breaking the law by not implementing the health care law —regardless of what the Supreme Court decides. After the embarrassment over his global warming lawsuit against UVA professors, we would have thought that the Attorney General would lick his wounds and lay low for a while. But he is continuing his crusade against the health care law. Since the Affordable Care Act was signed into law on March 23, 2010, Attorney General Cuccinelli has consistently opposed the new law with several lower court challenges. Instead of fighting foreclosure fraud and holding big banks accountable, Attorney General Cuccinelli has wasted time and taxpayer dollars fighting a law which already provides free preventive care, protection against discrimination based on pre-existing conditions, help with prescription drug costs, and a ban on lifetime coverage limits to hundreds of thousands of Virginians. And make no mistake about it; he has the full support of Governor Bob McDonnell. In fact, the Governor has found his own way to block the health care law by calling on the General Assembly to halt implementation of the Health Benefits Exchange—a critical part of the Affordable Care Act. Attorney General Cuccinelli calls his blocking of the health care law a “power struggle” between himself and the federal government. We call it: playing politics with the health care of millions of Virginians. And we want it to stop.

MANY AMERICANS DIE EVERY DAY BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE, THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE PREVENTIVE CARE, AND WHEN THEY ARE SICK NEED TO GO TO EMERGENCY CARE, SOMETIMES TOO LATE, AND IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE. NO OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAS ITS POPULATION WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE. THE REPUBLICANS AND HEALTH CARE CORPORATIONS ARE SPENDING MILLIONS TO REPEAL OBAMACARE, WHICH WILL PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE FOR THOSE 40 MILLIONS FELLOW AMERICANS.
