Ron Pollack, Executive Director of Families USA, speaks about the concern over the cost of health insurance.
Pollack says that the large and increasing number of uninsured Americans is no longer simply an altruistic concern for those without health coverage, but it is a concern for all Americans. He states the importance of strengthening and protecting the public programs, such as Medicaid, that are the safety net from millions of Americans. (:49)
