She supported and voted for the Affordable Care Act. In 2010 she was replaced by Ken Buck who went on to serve until he quit last year and voted to repeal the ACA even as rural hospitals in his district were thriving with the expansion of Medicaid.

One third of voting eligible citizens do not think it's important to vote and the majority who are voing just voted for the GOP who will do nothing to fix the system and make what we have worse.

All Democrats should run on nothing but universal health care. Everyday, in every way, pound it into their thick skulls.
