(Powerful. Thank you for documenting. - promoted by William Tucker)
The U.S. House of Representatives' vote to repeal the new health law may have simply been a symbolic gesture for those taking the vote, but to real people in New Hampshire and elsewhere it means a threat to the new consumer protections people are already benefiting from.
People like Hillary StPierre, who testified at the NH State House last week against HB 89. That's the bill which seeks to (unconstitutionally) direct the NH Attorney General to join a lawsuit with the ultimate goal of repealing the new health law.
Hillary is a symbol of just what this new law means for families, and why it needs to stay:
This is what is happening in America. After traveling to Concord in the bitter cold just days after a chemo session, and then waiting patiently for her turn to testify, Hillary's energy was spent. What was left was brutal honesty: speaking truth to power. It was about saying this isn't about politics, it's about people.
You can read the full testimony on Hillary's own corner of the web, Baldies Blog. Encouraged: there is a comments section there, too.
P.S. A big thank-you to TimC who is collaborating with us on the State House Video Monitoring Project. We look forward to sharing more highlights throughout the session.
