Pelosi: ‘Right Now, We Are Fighting the Repeal’ of Obamacare

Like any college student, Vanessa Ramirez never expected chemotherapy would be part of her busy school schedule.

My mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in February 2014. “They are rambunctious. I have a daughter that loves to climb trees”.

CBS 3’s Stephanie Stahl reports people supporting Obama’s signature health care law have launched a nationwide bus tour, which made a pit stop in Philadelphia. Toomey must support his constituents and oppose repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Ensuring my generation has access to coverage – and live healthier and more productive lives – enables us to make the most of our potential.
