On June 25th, Maureen came to Washington, DC from Pennsylvania to lobby her Members of Congress on health care. The Campaign for America's Future documented the trip, and her story.
The insurance company literally tried to kill her, delaying her routine care because they didn't want to pay. She suffered permanent harm as a result. But she survived, and thrived, and was able to tell a crowd of thousands why health care can't wait anymore.

The right to life is the most fundamental right without which all other rights are meaningless. When any entity infringes upon this most fundamental of our human rights, it is well within the provence of government as envisioned by our founding fathers to deal with this threat to our most fundamental human rights via whatever means are necessary — which, in the case of our corrupt murderous health insurance industry, should be the death penalty (i.e. single payer Medicare For All), but I'll settle for a robust public option if necessary.
