Senate may miss deadline for health care bill
Posted 2009-11-04
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., spoke as Democratic officials said it could be December before Senate debate begins in earnest on the issue — which tops President Barack Obama's domestic agenda — months after senior lawmakers and the White House had hoped. The drive to pass legislation has been slowed by divisions within the party's rank and file.

WASHINGTON — The health care bill headed for a House vote this week would cost $1.2 trillion or more over a decade, according to numerous Democratic officials and figures contained in an analysis by congressional budget experts, higher than the $900 billion cited by President Barack Obama as a price tag for his reform plan.

 Being a Woman is NOT a Pre-Existing Condition!

Health care shouldn’t be about luck.

But mothers who have Caesarean sections are lucky if they can get coverage. Domestic violence survivors are lucky if they can get coverage. Women are lucky if they don’t have to pay more than men for the same health coverage.

We need to speak up. Advocates across the country are calling and emailing Congress to demand healthcare reform that doesn’t discriminate against women. We hope your networks will join too.

Take Action

Please participate by telling your friends and networks to contact Congress and tell them to support healthcare reform that doesn’t discriminate against women.

Take action today and spread the word!
