Obama’s Mother – Would she be any better off?
This is personal for me. I will never forget watching my own mother, as she fought cancer in her final days, worrying about whether her insurer would claim her illness was a preexisting condition so it could get out of providing coverage.

And it will put health care within reach for millions of Americans.
