On CNN, MomsRising member Julie Walters (pictured above with her husband and daughter Violet) shared her story about how the Affordable Care Act has impacted her family. Her daughter Violet has a condition that puts her at risk of hitting her lifetime limit soon, even though she's only three years old. Because of the Affordable Care Act, Violet won't have to face a lifetime limit, and Julie's family can rest easy knowing that Violet's health care coverage is not in jeopardy.
