We all know the cost of healthcare is too damn high in the United States. That’s why we’re fighting to extend the Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits and prevent your premiums from skyrocketing.

📍Duke Gardens, Durham NC

#SarahPDukeGardens Mum festival was amazing. Another #Chrysanthemum in the comments.
1. C. Lava
2. Firecracker plant
3. Russian Sage
4. C. Apple Valley

#GratitudePhotos #DukeGardens #BloomScrolling #FlowersOfBlueSky #StephaniesVision
A detailed view of a Chrysanthemum flower with long, thin, curling petals radiating outward from the center. The petals are bright yellow with orange-red tips, and the center of the flower is a mix of deep red and orange hues. The intricate, spiraling shapes of the petals give the bloom a dynamic, fiery appearance. A close-up of a cluster of tubular, bright red-orange flowers with yellow tips, known as the Firecracker or Hummingbird Plant. The flowers grow in dense bunches on fuzzy, gray-green stems and leaves. The background is softly blurred, showing more foliage in muted grey-green tones, creating a vibrant contrast with the vivid red blossoms. A vertical shot of tall, slender stems of Russian Sage with clusters of small, delicate purple flowers. The stems are covered in silvery-green leaves, and the flowers appear airy and light, creating a sense of movement. The background includes more foliage and a gray stone path, softly out of focus, highlighting the vivid purple blossoms in the foreground. A cluster of vibrant chrysanthemum flowers "Apple Valley" with petals that are white at the center and streaked with bright pink toward the edges. Each bloom has a round, lime-green center. The flowers are densely packed, creating a lush display in the foreground. Behind them, the background shows soft-focus yellow foliage.
