A Michigan cancer survivor joins Pete Buttigieg and Protect Our Care for an honest conversation about beating ovarian cancer, affordable coverage, and Republican health care cuts.
Protect Our Care is traveling the country to hear directly from people whose lives have been changed by Republican health care policies. In Traverse City, Michigan, we sat down with Victoria Sylvester: a small business owner, a mother, a wife, and someone who beat Stage III ovarian cancer with the help of affordable ACA coverage. When her neighbor, former Secretary Pete Buttigieg, heard she was telling her story, he wanted to be there too. What followed was one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on this trip — about what health care means to working families, and what happens to real people when politicians in Washington make decisions about their lives.
