Lynn Forrest has a personal stake in the health insurance fight. After being laid off by her company, Lynn was offered COBRA insurance at a high cost that she couldn't afford. She tried to secure private insurance but was either turned down because of her pre-existing health conditions- or the cost that some companies were going to charge her was too high for her because she was unemployed.

Lynn began volunteering with the Indiana Change that Works campaign to fight for health care reform because she knows personally why it is so important for Hoosiers like herself.
This is Lynn's first campaign and she has worked tirelessly, knocking on doors and letting her community in the Elkhart area know why reform must happen now.

This past weekend, Lynn traveled with the Change that Works team to a Health Insurance Reform rally that proceeded the Labor Day Parade in Indianapolis.

Lynn and many other hard working Hoosier volunteers and organizers will continue the fight for reform.
