Laura Packard is in the midst of undergoing chemotherapy for stage 4 Hodgkin’s lymphoma. These are trying times for those battling cancer and cancer survivors alike, as the possibility of a rollback on pre-existing condition protections once again threatens our livelihoods, and even our lives.
Laura Packard was perfectly healthy until a nagging cough appeared and to her shock, doctors informed her she had stage 4 Hodgkin’s lymphoma. A self-employed woman, she was grateful she’d been able to obtain insurance under the Affordable Care Act. She was able to begin treatments immediately. She’s in the midst of her cancer journey now and needless to say, she’s fighting the cancer and the Republican assault on the Affordable Care Act, since the insurance it provides her is literally keeping her alive.
After a handful of tweets criticizing Donald Trump, she was surprised to find the president of the United States had personally blocked her on Twitter. But Laura is not going away meekly. In response, she recorded the following message for Donald Trump and the GOP. This is the type of bravery and integrity and grit Donald Trump will never know. Friends, please watch and listen to Laura’s message, and then drop her a note in the comments below.
