Born with a rare congenital disease, Abby Schanfield, a 20-year-old student at the University of Minnesota, tells us of many reasons why she cares so passionately about the Affordable Care Act, the new health care law. One particular reason she shared with us is the law’s requirement that young adults be allowed to remain on their parents’ health plan until they turn 26. That one provision assures her that she’ll continue to get the care she needs, and that assurance relieves her of stress that could worsen her condition.
“That was one of the most important things in the law and one of the most powerful things for me in my life,” Abby says.
