Cancer-stricken Sen. Tom Coburn revealed Tuesday that his health insurance under Obamacare doesn't cover his oncologist, but said he still is receiving excellent care.

"I'm doing well from a health standpoint, got great docs," Coburn said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Tuesday when asked about his health. "Fortunately — even though my new coverage won't cover my specialist — I'm going to have great care, and I have a great prognosis."
