Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senators Durbin, Schumer and Murray held a press conference Thursday with Kathy De Vincentis and Regina Holliday, two individuals who have struggled due to the high cost of health care.

She and her husband, Armando, who suffers from the debilitating effects of a stroke, have had to spend much of their retirement savings on life-saving medications because of inadequate health insurance coverage.

I call on you today to do the right thing for hardworking Americans like Armando and me.
