The Faces of Health Care: Cody F.
What has health reform meant to this country? That’s a question being answered by millions of Americans every day. Cody is one of them. Read more of their stories here.
“I was nervous every day that during dance, my ankle would break and I wouldn’t have money to fix it. … I now have health insurance (a silver plan) for $54.99 a month.”
Cody began his letter to the President with this line:
“I don’t have a complaint.” Here’s why.
Cody grew up a self-proclaimed “normal kid” in Carmel, Indiana. After his mom passed away, he was cut off financially and left unable to afford health insurance.

Chapter One: Finding Love in a Newspaper
It began with a classified ad.
My father left his poor, south Indian home at a tender age, and with an ever-tender heart. As a young man chasing education and opportunity, he left behind not only family and favorite foods, but also the love of his life. Growing up as the son of immigrants, I’ve learned a lot about what it takes to make it in America, and it takes a lot. It’s more than stellar test scores and green card sponsorships — it takes a resilient heart.

The Faces of TAA: How This Program Can Help Change So Many Lives
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) is a program with an obscure name but an important purpose.
The 21st century economy is driven by an ever-changing global marketplace, with new industries redefining consumer demand and reshaping our workforce. That means that, to outcompete other countries, America’s workforce needs all the job training and support needed to tap into new opportunities that the 21st century can present.
That is what TAA was created to do. It provides job training. It provides income support for workers in training programs. It has provided much-needed support to 2.2 million workers since it was created, including more than 23,000 veterans since October 2009 alone.
But here’s the problem, it will expire soon.
This week, Congress has the chance to reauthorize TAA, the vital program that millions of hardworking Americans have relied on. Major expansions in the program that the President fought for lapsed in 2014, and because major extensions and changes to TAA usually happen alongside other trade-related bills, passing TAA now is our best chance to get a bigger, better version of the program back in place. That’s why the president is fighting so hard for it.
Here are just a few of the stories of workers who have benefited from TAA:
