Congressman Clyburn: Testifying on behalf of those who don’t have health care
Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) relates a personal experience to the importance of health care. Clyburn talks about his wife’s heart attack and five vessel bypass surgery which would have never been performed if her health care did not cover a second opinion. Clyburn says that the doctors took that second look “not because of what her disease was but because of who she was.” (1:31)
