Video excerpts from a hearing March 24 before a House Judiciary subcommittee in Washington.

The family of Marine Sgt. Carmelo Rodriguez, who died at age 29 of skin cancer, ask for changes in the law that would allow members of the military to sue for medical malpractice. Rodriguez died of skin cancer that was diagnosed by military doctors who never told him about the diagnosis.
