Appleton resident Jennifer Edmondson worries she'll lose insurance under GOP health bill.

In our interview with U.S. Senator Ron Johnson last week, Appleton resident and cancer survivor Jennifer Edmondson requested we ask him about how the Senate health care bill would impact people with pre-existing conditions. She joins us to respond to his "disappointing" answer. “Access to affordable health care transcends politics for me,” she says, calling the plan “inhumane and un-American.”
