general eric holder in concept of congress. the white house news briefing minutes away. we ll bring it to you live. for three hours a week, i m a coach. but when i was diagnosed with prostate cancer. i needed a coach. our doctor was great, but with so many tough decisions i felt lost. unitedhealthcare offered us a specially trained rn who helped us weigh and understand all our options. for me cancer was as scary as a fastball is to some of these kids. but my coach had hit that pih before.
