YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Rival college basketball coaches teamed up Tuesday to a lead a health reform rally at the Capitol.  The sports figures offered personal stories of families and friends confronting cancer.  Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius joined the coaches to stress the urgent need for insurance reform -- especially critical for families fighting cancer.  Minnesota's Democratic Senators, Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, were on hand with Coach Tubby Smith from the University of Minnesota.  Today, there are thousands of cancer patients going without the care they need," said Franken.  "These Americans cant get health insurance because of a pre-existing condition. These egregious insurance industry practices must end."
