President Barack Obama stated on Harper's Bazaar that he is waging war against cancer, the illness to which his mother suffered and died.
"My mother died of ovarian cancer at the age of 53 and in those last painful months she was more worried about paying medical bills than getting well," he said. "For millions of Americans, my mother's story is all too familiar. That is why we need health-care reform that guarantees affordable coverage for every American who wants it and prevents insurance companies from discriminating against those who are sick and need care the most."
The president added, "We know this fight will not be easy, but we have gone far too long without necessary reforms to our health-care system. Now is the time to commit ourselves to waging a war against cancer as aggressive as the war cancer wages against us."
