The latest health guidance on taking aspirin as heart attack, stroke preventative

Adults 60 or older should not necessarily take a daily aspirin to prevent a first heart attack or stroke, according to a draft recommendation from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.

Judy Woodruff talks to Dr. John Wong about the issue.
