It will stop employers from using the taxpayers to subsidize their profits. There is also poor education. Access to birth control. Government regulations that encourage employers to offer less than full time work to avoid paying for health care. and probably more I have not thought of yet.

Time flies. Doesn’t seem like 7 years. Hope you are well. Believe me I get pessimistic at times too. But it seems like it is a cause worth fighting for. And there are enough glimmers of hope from time to time (including now) that it seems like progress is possible.

Glad to see you are still fighting. Hands up don’t shoot.
