Now on NH Outlook, the story of Michelle's Law - and the mother who has fought to make it a reality. |
| Hello/Intro Michelle's Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Richard Ager. Beth Carroll is on assignment. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. It's not that often that a law is named after a single individual, but we're seeing that now in New Hampshire. Michelle's Law - which is still only legislation - is named for Michelle Morse, a college student from Manchester who discovered she had advanced colon cancer, but would have lost her insurance if she had left school to get well. We'll talk in a few minutes about Michelle's Law - and the fact that the fastest growing group of uninsured are young adults. But first, here is Michelle's story. |

MONDAY, MARCH 13 MICHELLE'S LAW When she was halfway to earning her teaching degree, 20-year-old Michelle Morse found out she had colon cancer. When doctors urged her to lighten her course load, Michelle discovered that her insurance would stop unless she remained a full-time student. Michelle's mother took the fight to the legislature. Although her daughter has since died, the bill known as "Michelle's Law" eventually passed. NH Outlook's Richard Ager brings us the story. Guests: Rep. Will Infantine, Rep. John DeJoie, Sen.
