URGENT ACTION NEEDED NOW
The independent Congressional Budget Organization estimates that 14 million Americans will be uninsured by 2018, 21 million by 2020 and 24 million by 2026. Insurers will be allowed to charge five time more for older enrollees than younger ones, substantially raising premiums for older people.

* COME TO A VIGIL! Thousands of you have come to vigils to save our health care over the past 2
