First Lady and Sebelius Team up to talk Women and Health Care

Just posted from our friends at the Uptake

“First Lady Michelle Obama talks about why Health Insurance Reform is so important to Women.
She says 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 needed”

OpenLeft ala CNN is reporting however that a deal has been made on health care reform. While the Senate had been pushing all day for a public option and trying to find 60 votes for it, Obama put the kabosh on it saying that it wouldn’t be “bi-partisan.” Columnist David Sirota posted on his facebook status that it was “cosmetics over progress.” I couldn’t agree more.

Seems like videos like this don’t even matter when the President is choosing not to insure everyone.
