Former health secretary stops in Dayton to support Obamacare

Published: Thursday, August 24, 2017 @ 2:28 PM By: Kaitlin Schroeder - Staff Writer The first health and human services secretary under President Barack Obama stopped in Dayton Thursday as part of a larger campaign to support the Affordable Care Act as it remains under fire from President Donald Trump ’s administration.
