Growing up, we lived in a three-bedroom split-level home with my grandpop. And my headboard was up against the wall where my dad and mom were on the other side. One night, I remember I could hear how restless my dad was. When I got up the next morning, I asked my mom, "What's the matter with Dad?" She said his company just dropped our health insurance. All he was asking for was a little breathing room -- the kind of peace of mind that comes from knowing that if an illness strikes or an accident occurs, you can get quality medical care and recover and heal. It's what all Americans deserve. But we all know that too many folks don't have that peace of mind today. Too many folks lie in bed at night staring at the ceiling, wondering what will happen if their spouse gets cancer, if their child gets sick, or if something else happens to them. Will they have the money to pay the medical bills? Will they have to sell the house? I get it. That's why, since I was sworn in as president over two years ago, we have focused intensely on getting more people affordable health care and bringing down medical costs so you have a little bit of breathing room again. I believe we made significant progress. Now, we need to finish the job. So today, I am calling on this grassroots team to help elect more Democrats ready to ensure health care is a right, not a privilege. Can I count on you to make a $25 donation to the DNC today? If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | | While Democrats have worked to lower costs for families like yours, the GOP is trying to dismantle our progress. They want to cut taxes for the very wealthy and large corporations again. They want to take back the power we gave Medicare to negotiate lower drug costs. And they would provide a huge giveaway to Big Pharma. The contrast couldn't be clearer. We have to fight for Democratic majorities so we're able to protect and expand access to affordable health care. It'd mean so much to me if you'd make a donation to power our party's work to elect more Democrats up and down the ballot. If you're able, I hope you'll make a $25 donation to the DNC today. Your donation will help lay the foundation for the work ahead. Thank you for everything you do, Joe Joseph R. Biden, Jr. President of the United States |
