When Colorado resident Tami Graham was diagnosed with Stage 1 uterine
cancer, she knew she could not afford the tens of thousands of dollars
needed for treatment since she did not have health insurance. That is
when someone mentioned the high-risk pools established by President
Obama’s The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The insurance
helped pay for Graham’s hysterectomy, as well as follow-up care. After
Graham responded to the Obama campaign’s Facebook post seeking personal
experiences with the Affordable Care Act, she was invited to introduce
Obama at a Denver fundraising event. Graham joins us to talk about this
underreported part of Obama’s healthcare plan that is designed as a
bridge for people with pre-existing conditions who cannot obtain health
insurance coverage.Video
