A young Ohio father and his baby boy who battled brain cancer at the same time are among the 22 million Americans at risk of losing health insurance if a bill being considered by the United States Senate becomes law. The family is featured in a new video released today urging lawmakers to vote no.
The video, posted at http://www.usw.org/Nathan, urges viewers to call 1-877-607-0785 to tell their senators to vote no on the disastrous health care bill. It shares the story of Ryan and Nathan Link of Mt. Vernon, Ohio. Both have a rare genetic disorder called Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, which mutates the tumor-blocking genes making them susceptible to cancers.
