OFA L.A. Event - Teacher and Mother Without Health Insurance for Children Tells of Need

Odetta Moore, a teacher in the private sector, has no health benefits for her husband, an independent contractor; and they cannot afford benefits for their children, at a time when public benefits for children, such as the 70,000 in California on the Healthy Families waiting list, are being cut. Hard-working, a former combat military medical specialist, with two degrees, she feels she should not have to beg for her children's health. Video clip is one of a series of the Sept. 3, 2009 Organizing for America ( http://barackobama.com ) event in Los Angeles shot by Doug Drenkow ( http://douglasdrenkow.com ), reporting for OpEdNews ( http://opednews.com ).
