3) Health care crisis facing middle class small businesses - KUOW 94.9FM
On Monday, August 13th, Washington CAN! member Michelle Moulton spoke on 'Weekday,' the morning call-in radio show on KUOW, 94.9 FM. She spoke about how a health care system that puts profits ahead of people is failing middle class small business owners like her. After going through a year of chemotherapy following a misdiagnosis, Michelle and her family have been abandoned by insurance companies who think they can no longer make a buck on insuring her.
You can listen to the program at http://www.kuow.org/defaultProgram.asp?ID=13245
