Sen. Dick Durbin
June 19, 2019
Tweet - "Why are Americans saying: "I can't afford to have cancer?" Because 40% lose their life savings in 2 years after cancer diagnosis. Pres. Trump's lawsuit against the ACA would make things worse by removing guaranteed coverage for those with pre-existing conditions like cancer."

Sen. Dick Durbin
June 19, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
June 19, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
June 18, 2019
