Michelle's Law
When she was halfway to earning her teaching degree, 20-year-old Michelle Morse found out she had colon cancer. As she prepared for that fight, her doctors urged her to lighten her course load. It was then that she and her family discovered that her insurance would stop unless she remained a full-time student. Michelle's mother took the fight to the legislature. Her daughter has since died but a bill known as "Michelle's Law" is now expected to pass. NH Outlook's Richard Ager brings us the story.
Guests: Rep. Will Infantine, Rep. John DeJoie, Sen. David Gottesman and Dick Hage, VP of Student Affairs, Plymouth State University
