March 4th.
The only date that is also a command.
It's been 19 years since my husband died of cancer & my life irreversibly changed. It took me years to feel like I wasn't drowning every minute of every day.
Grief & financial toxicity gave me a mission.

Millions of Americans face a sharp increase in their insurance premiums. That's after Congress failed to renew subsidies provided by Obamacare.
So, what's the impact for those in need?

It's the people/groups who grab those ideas & fulfill them who make change."
