Rep. Lois Capps...D-Cali, 23rd District... She talks about Women's representation in the Bill. |

God she made chills go up my back. She talked about women's rights. She's a mum, grandmother, and nurse. She supports the bill and said that women are truly recognized.
Women won't be discriminated against for being a woman (as though it's a preexisting condition) by health insurance. Women apparently, and I didn't know this, will not have to pay for important exams like mamograms and regular health screenings. <----Did other's know this?! Wow. Also I think women with children won't have to pay for exams too or something to that affect.
She really was good, if we can watch it over, and I hope we can, you guys should hear what she had to say. She did say it's a great bill, and for all the stuff it's offering, I give her some credit on that. It's not perfect, but it is decent.
