Dear Senator Richards,
You are a figure of great respect in our nation—a true patriot who has devoted much of your life to public service. Your resilience in facing personal challenges is admirable, and I sincerely hope for your swift recovery as you navigate your current health issues.
You know firsthand what it means to confront illness and to fight back, just as countless Americans are doing every day. You understand the sleepless nights spent worrying about loved ones, praying for their health, and assuring them that you will do everything in your power to ensure their well-being. The bond between parents and children is profound; from the first moment we hold them, they become an integral part of our lives and our hearts.
As parents, we rush to bandage their scrapes, seek out doctors for mysterious ailments, and lift them up when they fall. This instinct to protect and advocate is what drives me to reach out to you today—as a parent, a person with chronic illness, and a concerned citizen. I urge you to once again show the courage and independent spirit you’re known for by voting against the Graham-Cassidy bill or any iteration of Trumpcare. Instead, I encourage you to collaborate with your fellow Senators to enhance the Affordable Care Act, which has provided critical support to families like mine, ensuring access to necessary medical care without the fear of bankruptcy or losing coverage due to pre-existing conditions.
Life is unpredictable. We hope for health and happiness, but often encounter unexpected challenges. A year ago, I faced my own harrowing experience when I was diagnosed with multiple bilateral pulmonary embolisms. Thanks to my health insurance, I was able to receive immediate care in the emergency room, where dedicated professionals saved my life. Because of the protections offered by the Affordable Care Act, I could continue my treatment with a qualified hematologist, allowing me to recover and be present for my children.
My son faces his own serious health challenges, including severe food allergies and asthma, which require regular visits to specialists. His life depends on the care we are fortunate enough to have, and I am grateful to senators like you who have stood firm in protecting health care for families like ours. Watching a child struggle to breathe is terrifying; it transforms you into a fierce advocate for their health and well-being. You shouldn’t have to choose between financial ruin and your family’s health.
I am speaking up not only for my family but for the many Americans who desperately need your support. I remember the pride I felt when you cast a decisive thumbs down to Trumpcare on July 28, 2017. It was a moment that allowed millions of us to breathe a little easier, knowing that our voices had been heard. I will share that story with my children—how you stood up for what was right and made a difference in our lives.
When our nation faces difficulties, it is essential to lift each other up. That is the duty of a good senator. Thank you for embodying that role. I implore you to help us again by voting against the Graham-Cassidy bill and any similar proposals.
Sickness and the quest for healthcare can feel like a battlefield. Please show us your courage once again and lead the fight for all in need. Our futures depend on your decision.
