620<p>Beautiful words! So glad you found Ali and got coverage. So sad that these small men who have been waiting to pounce, waiting to take down Obama, now hold all the power. And now we will all suffer the cost of their greed and inhumanity. I have created a page/group on Facebook -- No Repeal No Surrender. I would love to share your ACA story. If you are interested, let me know and we can post something on the site.</p>
