Kathie McClure – Mom, lawyer, health activist, bus driver

Posted at 4:27 PM by Adam Searing

Today I had a chance to speak to Kathie McClure.  She outfitted a old school bus and, starting from Atlanta, is traveling the country collecting stories about our health care crisis.  She's in NC for a few days this week.  What prompted this?  Her two adult children have serious health conditions and have found getting insurance on their own difficult or impossible.  She started a new nonprofit – http://www.votehealthcare.org/ – and is on a one woman mission to reform our system.  Here's the NC Health Report video:
