Mary Gay Scanlon: “I was at the largest Veterans Day parade in the Commonwealth…”

“So, like my colleagues here, I've been hearing from my constituents throughout this period of time when we have not been here in D.C. which we have regularly been in D.C. trying to do the work. But just this morning, I was at the largest Veterans Day parade in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in media, and I had veterans coming up to me saying, keep fighting. This is killing us, this health insurance issue. My daughter can't get her insurance. She's concerned about her family. I hear from the folks I walk dogs with in the morning that they're thinking about going without coverage because they've got a small business and they can't afford the increases that they're seeing.” (10:42–10:54)
