June 29 2012: The Guardian’s Karen McVeigh talks to Ben Munoz, a medical student and patient advocate from Texas, who welcomes the supreme court ruling after his own battle with debilitating illness.
“Here in Texas, there’s a lot of anti-government feeling, that it should stay out of healthcare” said Munoz, 35, who also runs a network of patient communities for people affected by a rare disease. “I thought that the government doesn’t have much of a role to play in this. But when you experience the threat of bankruptcy because of an illness, when you feel that pain, your feelings change.”
