The family of Nataline Sarkisyan appeared at a John Edwards rally in Manchester, NH, to speak about the importance of reforming our healthcare system after the senseless death of Nataline due to bureaucratic obstacles placed by her insurance company. Her father, Kirkor Sarkisyan, admits that their political activism was spurred by both a desire to honor the memory of his daughter but to ensure that no other parent experience the loss that he has.

On a related note, Hillary Clinton's spokesperson, Jay Carson dismissed the Sarkisyan family's appearance at the Edwards event by saying that when Clinton refers to people in her speeches, she's actually helped them, not just "stories she’s pulled from the newspaper and included in her stump,” to which Edwards has rightfully questioned whether her campaign has a conscience.
