I hope others join me in trying to convince Sen. Susan Collins that she must defend the health care protections millions of Americans rely upon by stopping Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court.

I worked for more than a decade in health care administration and know firsthand that millions of people will suffer due to the lack of health care access if nominees such as Kavanaugh are confirmed and emboldened.

Sen. Collins will be judged by many based upon the nature of her vote on that nomination. People will be watching.
