The Supreme Court of the United States will rule on Obamacare (or the ACA or the health care reform law, whatever you want to call it) this month. Insiders think the ruling will be either June 18th or even more likely, June 25th. There's a chance the Supreme Court will uphold Obamacare in its entirety. There's also a chance the Supreme Court will throw it all out. (There are a total of seven scenarios. If you want to wonk out, you can read them all here.)

For the millions of Americans who are already benefiting from Obamacare, that is a very scary prospect. The numbers speak for themselves. Currently, 54 million Americans receive life-saving preventative care thanks to Obamacare. 25 million people under 26 remain on their parents' health insurance. 50,000 people with pre-existing conditions are now covered -- a number set to grow by leaps and bounds when full pre-existing condition coverage goes into effect in 2014.

The thought of many, many millions of Americans losing access to quality health care when the Supreme Court rules is truly frightening. That is why real people from across the country sent us their stories and their pictures, with one simple statement: "Don't Deny Us." We put those pictures together in the video below. Please watch and share, because it's important these voices be heard.
