Rep. John ShimkusMARYVILLE – Metro East area residents are planning a Seventh Anniversary Celebration of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) from 3-5 p.m. March 23 at the Maryville offices of Congressmen Rodney Davis and John Shimkus.  The gathering is part of a nationwide effort to highlight ACA advantages as told through personal stories of those who have benefitted from what has been commonly called Obamacare.
