Kelley Deal, (guitarist with The Breeders, R. Ring) joins Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell at The National Press Club in Washington DC on Monday, January 9, 2017 to fight the repeal of the Affordable Care Act.

Millions of artists, musicians, free lancers, self-employed workers and other members of the ‘gig economy’ are poised to lose their coverage if the ACA is repealed.  Please stand with Secretary Burwell in her final speech as she highlights personal stories and talks about the consequences for the American people of undoing the progress that’s been made.
