In Her Own Words: Cancer Survivor Looks Back on Lobby Day

May 27, 2009

The following blog post was written by Cathy Guinn, one of the 15 cancer survivors who came to Washington last week to participate in ACS CAN's "Surviving the System" Lobby Day. She met with her elected officials to discuss why we need meaningful health care reform now not later.

After a two day whirlwind on lobbying for Health Care Reform, I can honestly say that I feel like we, as a group of survivors, are going to envoke change. I didn't realize how bad our health care system was until I was in Washington. After talking with my representatives from Florida, I have hope that change is coming. Adequate and Affordable health care will be made a reality very soon. I know Congress understands that as Americans we can no longer wait for this change, it needs to come now.
