necessary.
Now that the government shutdown has ended and the president has preserved
ObamaCare for the time being, it's worth explaining why my organization, the
Heritage Foundation, and other conservatives chose this moment to fight—
and why we will continue to fight. The reason is simple: to protect the
American people from the harmful effects of this law.
