Why Health Insurance Reform Matters to Women


In some states, maternity care is not covered because pregnancy can be seen as a pre-existing condition. Its even legal in some states to deny a woman coverage because shes been a victim of domestic violence. First Lady Michelle Obama looks at where health care policy and people’s lives intersect. Two-time cancer survivor Roxi Griffin and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius join her to discuss how the current system doesn’t work for women and their families and why health insurance reform is so …

    Guess what? The taliban and al qeada were almost totaly pushed into pakistan untill a weak man entered the whitehouse. Now they are pushing because they know obama will wimp out.

    I’ve known plenty of morons that made it in the Army. I don’t know why you think its such a major accomplishment. I guess that’s all you have to brag about.

    LOL, shows how little you know about the modern military. But again you prove you are not a veteran.

    This is a pointless waste of time you just keep repeating the same bullshit hoping it will become real. I’m bored………….. Later

    I don’t know why you think its such a major accomplishment

    You are serious? What a joke.

    So then you think she is lying? LOL You have no proof of that… but you just think so anyway… Could that be because you have been brainwashed into not even listening to what she is saying? I actually had this same experience when my oldest was a baby. It turned out to be a cold Thank Goodness but they did scare the hell out of me when they said they wanted to test him for menengitous. What makes you think she is making this up?

  10. #10 by mnclesunkey on October 26, 2009 - 8:42 pm

    Everyone needs a good scare before Halloween, right?

  11. #11 by bobjon38 on October 26, 2009 - 8:44 pm

    There is proof she is lying but you wouldn’t believe it anyway.

    BTW I sure hope you remember which account you are signed into. But actualy talking to yourself, now that is werid.

  12. #12 by mnclesunkey on October 26, 2009 - 8:46 pm

    “How is what Michelle talking about a fear tactic ”

    If you look at the motive behind her words and her choice of approach, it is fear mongering. She is using your fear of your child dying, going deaf…ect. to push their agenda.

    If it were Laura Bush or any other repub, that is what it would be called.

    We need to change our Health care system, no doubt. But their plan is dangerous and for me and millions of others, out of the question.

    “Anyone in the military could see that.”
    Many that are not can too…

    Not to mention our Troops Moral is way down. I thought I would never say this but if Bush was in office Moral would not be down and the taliban would not be gettign a foot hold of our men and women.

  14. #14 by bobjon38 on October 26, 2009 - 8:58 pm

    Bush was no prize in many ways but damn it he could kick our enemies in the teeth and they knew it.

  15. #15 by Smartassawhip on October 26, 2009 - 9:00 pm

    I really wish they would leave folks like you out of the equasion but unfortunately that is not the way it works. These fears are not unrealistic in any way for a parent and people who have kids with no insurance live with these fears everyday. Of course she is trying to make dense folks like yourself see that.. but she fails to realize that you lack compassion and therefore it is pointless. How is the plan dangerous for you? This should be interesting since the final bill has not been written.

  16. #16 by bobjon38 on October 26, 2009 - 9:03 pm

    See there is the smug attitude of which obamabots are famous.

    It will increase taxes and reduce service. It has a high risk of bankrupting the country. It places my healthcare firmly in the hands of the us government.
    None of those are good things.

    Now stop asking me to pay your bills.

  17. #17 by bobjon38 on October 26, 2009 - 9:05 pm

    btw RichardE8ST, you can continue to post as “smartassawhip” if you want but I know its you.

    Just so we are clear.

  18. #18 by Smartassawhip on October 26, 2009 - 9:09 pm

    LOL Did Glenn Beck overuse the word smug recently or something because I have noticed a lot of republican scum tossing it around today.

    What services is your private insurance company planing to drop when this passes? How will your healthcare be in the hands of the government unless you sign up for the public option yourself? What about all the folks on Medicare are they at risk? If they are then why are they so hell bent on keeping that program?

  19. #19 by Smartassawhip on October 26, 2009 - 9:11 pm

    LOL Now that is funny… Because you are wrong. I do know him but we are not one in the same… Of course I don’t expect you to believe that because with folks like you everything is a conspiracy.

  20. #20 by mnclesunkey on October 26, 2009 - 9:12 pm

    “These fears are not unrealistic”

    Of course they are not. With or with out insurance….

    “How is the plan dangerous for you?”

    It is dangerous for everyone. But you will figure that out when you are slapped on a LONGER WAITING LIST than you would be on now in some circumstances… I have family in the UK, Canada, America and South America. Them and every last one of their friends would give their left leg to come to America for treatment.

    I have a friend in India and he was just treated for cancer for a grand total of 5,000.00 and he didn’t have to wait at all. I have a lot of friends in Canada and think we are downright silly. They actually voted Toomy Douglas as the greatest Canadian ever.. He is the founder of they medical system. Just think of all the jobs this will create. I have 3 family members in nursing school right now.

  22. #22 by Smartassawhip on October 26, 2009 - 9:18 pm

    LOL That’s funny because last time I checked he attacked an innocent country and let our enemy go free.

    Attention ya’ll, this vid is totally nothing compared to the bull riding one me and my boyfriend made

  24. #24 by creaturesGREATnSmall on October 26, 2009 - 9:21 pm

    Richard, as I have mentioned often there are severl alternatives to Obama’s hell bent drive to desemate the American health care system, but of course, like your leader Obama that’s not important. This isn’t about health care at all. Obama doesn’t care if families have health care or not. He wants the power this plan will afford him to tax americans into the dirt. Michelle is fear mongering from within the protected escarpment of her “good insurance” with the gubment. She doin’ an ad.

  25. #25 by Smartassawhip on October 26, 2009 - 9:21 pm

    I would also like to add that there are a lot of folks that would be happy just to be on a waiting list because atleast then they have a chance that they don’t have now.
