Transcript of "Ian":

NARRATOR: Medical errors during birth left Ian Malone needing constant care. But the HMO began cutting them off against doctor's orders.

CHRISTINE MALONE: We had gotten to the point of complete desperation.

NARRATOR: Al Gore heard their story, and fought back.

CHRISTINE MALONE: He told the insurance company, "Don't do this. Don't cut this child's coverage."

NARRATOR: Al Gore got the Malone family the help they needed. But knowing that all families need protection from HMO abuses, he's fighting for a real Patients' Bill of Rights.

CHRISTINE MALONE: Even if he fought half as hard for the people of our country, as he did for my son … nobody loses.
