Tinc un e-mail… del vicepresident dels Estats Units

El Joe Biden (o això és el que figura al remitent, a més de info@barackobama.com) m’acaba d’enviar un e-mail. La lluita per la cobertura sanitària universal als EUA és dura i la campanya per aconseguir el suport popular, infinita. He de reconèixer que la impactant història de la família de Minnesota m’ha emocionat. I també que aquesta campanya demòcrata és un molt bon exemple de com implicar la gent per una causa o fidelitzar el públic d’una organització, en aquest cas política. Millor que el llegiu directament:
Friend —
I want to tell you about a family in Minnesota.
Justin and Kari live in Brooklyn Park, right outside of Minneapolis. They’re parents to three children. Their three-year-old, William, was born with a genetic disorder called tuberous sclerosis complex.
For the rest of his life, William will wrestle with tumors in his brain, his heart, his kidneys, his skin, and possibly other major organs. He must take medication to control seizures and faces the threat of kidney disease.
What Justin and Kari want for William is a future. And because of health reform, that’s what he’ll have.

Today, insurance companies are no longer able to discriminate against William because of the condition he’s dealt with since birth. Now, Justin and Kari know they’ll be able to get the kind of care that William needs — today and into the future.
Their story isn’t unique, but it’s one of many that need to be told. We all know people whose lives have been changed because of the Affordable Care Act, even if we don’t realize it. So we’ve found a way to show exactly how reform is working for all of us — for our parents, our siblings, our kids, ourselves.
Will you take a minute to take our Health Reform Checkup and let the people you love know how reform is working for them?
Before the Affordable Care Act, Justin and Kari weren’t sure about the future. They worried that they’d never be able to find coverage for William again if Justin lost his job. They worried about the life that William would lead — whether he’d ever be able to work or support a family.
Not anymore. William’s condition isn’t going away, but he’ll always be able to get care. The Affordable Care Act is one year old today, and it has already changed William’s life — and this country — for good.
Today, there are families who feel better about the future than they did a year ago. They’ve found some security, some relief. And these are people we know. They’re our neighbors, our colleagues, our friends, our families — the people next to us every day.
On the one-year anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, I think we have a duty to discuss how reform is already working.
Watch Justin and Kari tell their story, and take a moment to learn how health reform is changing the lives of those you know:

A year ago, I stood next to the President as he signed health reform into law — and we have you to thank for making that possible.
Yours,
Joe
