Women Democratic Senators Highlight Benefits Of Health Insurance Reform for Women
October 8, 2009 —Women Democratic Senators took to the floor this morning to highlight women will benefit from health insurance reform. In our current health care system, women tend to earn less and pay more for premiums and are rarely covered for basic maternity care. "In cases where women can find coverage that is affordable, often it is woefully inadequate," said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen. The Senators urged for an end to discrimination against patients with pre-existing conditions. "Enough is enough, the time is now," Senator Patty Murray declared. "The status quo that is being defended by the other side is not working."
Macromedia Flash Player required.
The Senate will convene at 2:00 p.m. and proceed to a period of morning business until 3:00 p.m. with Senators permitted to speak for up to ten minutes each. Following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of H.R.3590, with Senator Reid, or designee, permitted to offer the first amendment to the Reid substitute; further, that Senator McConnell, or designee, be permitted to offer the next amendment to the substitute with no other amendments in order during Monday's session.
