I am joining the disability March because I have multiple sclerosis. I will not be tossed aside by an elitist society. I am a former double board-certified registered nurse.

Why I Am Joining The March : I worry about my future without the ACA. Getting medication and quality health care with an invisible disability is difficult as it is. Repealing the ACA could make me completely house bound and possibly bed bound instead of being able to participate in life.
