Health Care Reform is Anti-Women? "I Object!"

When several women tried to voice their opinions on health care reform to the House on November 7th, they were repeatedly admonished and silenced. But two Republican state representatives, who also happen to be women - Lynn Jenkins (KS) and Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA) - argue that such reforms to our nation's health care system are actually anti-women. They co-authored an opinion piece for the Washington Times last week making their case.


Their claims: women make most of the health care decisions for their families, most health care professionals are women, and most women are satisfied with their current providers. Why not leave well enough alone?


Well, because the situation isn't "well enough," as numerous women tried to state on the House floor.


In this mash-up from Media Matters, the assembly at the House of Representatives is condensed to just over one minute, but the spirit is true to what actually occurred.



Hmm . . . This doesn't look like a group of women who are satisfied with leaving "well enough" alone, now does it?
