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.

  • Somewhat concerned? I'll tell you something you should be VERY concerned about CON. Why does your party have a 15% approval rating in congress? Why do only 20% of Americans identify themselves as Republicans? Why after 8 years of a Republican executive branch and 6 years of a Republican congress have the American people bulldozed you out of power? The American people and the Super Majority have spoken CON. Why don't you show more concern with that than one comment on YouTube? Silly CON.

  • 20% of Americans as Republicans. SOURCE: "GOP brand sinks to 20 percent" on Politico dated October 20, 2009 based on a WashPost/ABC news poll. Google it. Sucks when you get owned doesn't it?

  • @groundhog2008 Not even close.

  • @prajkum1 The point in my original post was to mock you for saying anyone who disagreed with you is a redneck, and the irony is that many people who throw around the term redneck are even more ignorant than actual rednecks. So take Olbermann's used condom out of your ass, stop watching MSNBC for 1 second, and try for once in your life to realize how much of an idiot you are.

  • @prajkum1 LOL You are a complete fucking moron. How do you think insurance companies were able to become the middle-man in all healthcare costs that don't involve catastrophic events unlike every other insurance industry? Hint: it wasn't free market forces. The insurance companies being the price controllers are the result of favorable regulations toward them; you're blaming the symptom instead of the problem. .

  • @prajkum1 You sound like a dumb fucking hood rat. Most dumb fucks who bitch and moan about "evil insurance companies" and "rednecks" are dumb fucking ghetto hood rat hypocrites. Bitch motherfucker.

  • @superman96021 lol,

    Guatemala has better birth rates because abortion is Illegal there.

    and also because the government there doesn't spend all it's budget on an army.

  • Here are some facts:

    -I am REPUBLICAN born and RAISED and proud of IT!!

    -We are ranked 52 on "Wolds-Worst health care"

    -If you have Cancer and Have Great insurance will Be Broke at the end of your Treatment Period

    -The Stupid country of Guatemala, a 3rd world country has Better Birth rates than we do the USA. WTF! (this means More baby's die in USA)

    -We would get BETTER QUALITY HEALTH CARE for LESS money! ( that's the part I like)
