I wasn't the only one crying, as I listened to

[pnwmom]

the young mother talking about how Obamacare has saved her 4 year old daughter's life -- but it's all at risk if Romney is elected.

1. Rachel discussing it.

[pnwmom]

3. Thanks! I'll switch from c-span to hear that!

[Lucy Goosey]

2. You were Definitely not the only one crying...

...Rachel is recapping it now, and I'm welling up again.

[pnwmom]

4. How did that mother hold herself together? I could barely do it.

[snacker]

5. Gut-wrenching...

her family's story should be used in an ad. Very touching.

[woolldog]

6. Would love to see that story condensed

into a 0:31 Obama ad.

[pnwmom]

9. Me, too. It needs to run everywhere, but especially the swing states. n/t

7. How DARE they call themselves "pro-life"

And condemn a real live child to death!

This MUST be made into an ad!!

8. My niece had cancer at 2, survived, and is now 16 ... and ObamaCare

ensures that she can't be denied for a preexisting condition, nor can she be turned down due to a life time cap.

Fuck Mitt.

[pnwmom]

10. We have at least one young person in our family

who also very much needs the bill. Her husband's already had to turn down one attractive job, simply because the health care plan wasn't good enough.

[JoePhilly]

11. So true.

For a number of years, my niece was only covered for basic kid illnesses, and sports injuries. The insurance companies were up front about it ... because of the cancer, my niece was likely to have other issues, and they would not cover those. As an example, she has had kidney stones. The insurance company would not cover the medication needed to prevent and treat them.

They'd rather let a 10 year old feel like she was peeing glass fragments then cover her medication.

But now she is covered. She can get the medication she needs.

Mitt can not be allowed to win.

[pnwmom]

12. That was criminal. I hope for everyone's sake that Obamacare survives --

and that the only change might be to add a public option and then morph into Medicare for all.

[JoePhilly]

13. Agree completely ... I think ObamaCare is a step towards a PO or Medicare for all.

But we have to win this election to have any chance of that happening.
