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 …

this is not a reform bill!
it will increase insurance cost, lower quality, give free health care to illegal immigrants, and fine those that don’t pick pri or gov health ins policies.
She is a misleading people!

Whatever makes you feel better about your lies.
January 17th, 2010 at 11:56 pm
I was trying to be civil, and simply point out the current system does not work. That people without insurance, do suffer and sometimes die because of it. You called me a liar and said it never happens. Then you started the name calling and No, I won’t just sit back and take it. I will return all the BS you dish out. My only point was it does happen and I did not lie about anything. Thats it. Just letting the facts be known. Have a wonderful day.

If you say so…
God what an idiot.
January 18th, 2010 at 1:20 am
Your braindead ass, said “Those things can’t happen, the hospitals would be closed by the government”. That is when you called me a liar. Just admit you are a clueless moron and be done with it, because I proved to you it does happen. I never even said I was for the healthcare reform being considered now. I said we needed some sort of reform, because the current one was not working.
You are all ass, where do I start? LOL. Waaa, little bitch can’t handle being wrong..Eat shit.. You lose.
January 18th, 2010 at 1:30 am
Get over yourself. Only a brain dead idiot would think that increasing the number of patients would mean these problems would get any better.
You are the one who started this again, so it is you who needs to fuck off.
Kiss my ass bitch.
January 18th, 2010 at 2:20 am
Now who is the liar needle dick? You said it did not happen and I made it all up. When given proof, your only come back is to name call and react like a fucking moron! I never called you any names, until now. Why get so angry when given proof? What a fucking miserable loser. So sorry I tried to even haven a discussion with someone as disturbed as you! Fuck off!!

I already said it happens and it violates federal law. Only a braindead idiot would think government run healthcare would make this better.
You are still a liar.
January 18th, 2010 at 3:35 am
Thank You! Only wanted you to actually acknowledge that it does happen. Before, you said it doesn’t because they would be breaking federal law and would closed by the federal government for doing so. It happens here on a regular basis and nothing is being done about it. It’s very clear, I’am not a liar. . Everything I told you I had witnessed here, does happen and a baby is the latest victim. No insurance = death. Very, very sad.
January 18th, 2010 at 4:33 am
No i said you lied about your personal story. The hospitals in all three cases violated federal law.
January 18th, 2010 at 4:46 am
You said, this type of thing doesn’t happen. That I had lied about these FACTS. I’am simply pointing out IT DOES happen and this is the 3rd time here in Vegas in the past 6 months alone. All 3 had no insurance. All 3 tried to go to other hospitals, all 3 now dead. My point is. IT IS A FACT IT HAPPENS. Even tough you claim, I made it all up and lied.
January 18th, 2010 at 5:45 am
That makes you not a liar how???
January 18th, 2010 at 6:10 am
Remember me? You had called me a liar, for stating facts, that people die, while waiting to be seen by a Dr., in ER rooms, when they have no health insurance. Well, it happened again, here in Vegas. A lady sat in an ER for more than 6 hours. She left went to another hospital, rejected there too. Returned to the first county hospital that made her wait 6 hours. Finally admitted, after more than 9 hours, she gave birth to a stillborn, breech birth child. Don’t say it never happens.

Actually you are wrong.
Clinton balanced the Fed budget and he did it with tricks. Do your own homework and find out the truth. Balancing the budget is not the same as “after all our debts are paid.” He never got us out of debt.
Oh and Bush’s economic performance is indeed spotty, but his tax cuts saved what bacon we have.
Clinton just kicked the debt can down the road. Typical of him. He never solved anything.
Bush never ran any companies into the ground. Stop lying.

@lordcron
Actually it’s not a lie it is absolutely true. Clinton claimed a surplus that was allegedly gained by “shrinking government” yet Clinton actually reduced the size of Government by reducing the military by 60,000 troops while at the same time increasing the bureaucracy. This resulted in an actual increase in the number of people on the payroll, and increasing the budget needs to pay the government contractors, who took over the jobs formerly done by the military.
January 18th, 2010 at 7:35 am
That’s a lie and you know it. Just more Republi=klan propaganda. President Clinton had a very large and real surplus after all our debts was paid.
Bush is just a failure and you know it. Don’t take my word for it. Look at the man’s background. He ran 4 companies into the ground. and you take up for him like he knew what he was doing. To this very day no one knows how they came into 45 million dollars all of a sudden and at the same time the savings and loan was missing almost the same. smoke.

Most of the”problems” in this country have been made better by government input.
Insurance -Pre Nixon deregulation
Pharmaceutical industry. Patent medicines?
Cures/research
Richard Nixon is responsible for the current sham of a system that our forefathers would have taken down with pitchforks and torches.
Repeat after me 100 times each day.
“Insurance is fraud, Insurance is fake.”
Healthcare is between a dr and a patient. Insurance corps. violate the body orifices of all humanity.
January 18th, 2010 at 8:48 am
Problems that the government made better:
ERA effectively took one livable wage divided between a man and a woman and milions of illegals to increase the labor pool exponentially. Labor shortage what labor shortage.
NAFTA-Ross Perot warned that this was a boondoggle. Now Mexico charges upwards of 45% on many U.S. imports.
The Great Society.
Modern Warfare.
Mail Delivery-USPS had a billion surplus was profitable until Bush1 raided the surplus for GUFF WER 1
Meat Packing Industry.
January 18th, 2010 at 9:45 am
You’re a statist tool.
How about you name ONE problem government has made better?
The idiots pushing this “reform” cannot tell the truth: the costs are going to skyrocket past the projections.
They always HAVE, they always WILL. This bunch of liberal idiots are not smarter than those that came before. They know they’re lying and they’re very glad morons like you are buying into their lies.
January 18th, 2010 at 10:31 am
LOL so you sue yourself!!!! hahahahahahah you are funny.
January 18th, 2010 at 11:29 am
