President Obama Consoles Woman Whose Uninsured Sister Died Of Colon CancerPresident Obama stopped shaking hands for a moment today so that he could embrace a sobbing woman whose uninsured sister recently died of colon cancer.
..................
Ms. Miller said her sister, Kelly Hines, died from colon cancer four years ago because she could not afford proper health insurance. She had no employer-provided coverage
Even after she was diagnosed with cancer, she was told her income was too high for Medicaid, Ms. Miller said.
I thanked him for the getting the Affordable Health Act passed, she said.
