"When I opened the envelope containing my insurance card, I got a bit teary eyed. Thank you a million times."

Lynette J. is a small business owner from Hyattsville, Maryland. Her business has been open for more than seven years, she's 34 years old, and at the time she wrote the President this past August, she was about to make her first doctor's appointment in more than five years. That's because she's now covered thanks to the Affordable Care Act.

This is what health reform has meant for millions of Americans like Lynnette: The ability to stay healthy in the day-to-day, and to take control of their future.
