First Lady Michelle Obama talks about why Health Insurance Reform is so important to Women. She says 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. **http://The-UpTake.groups.theuptake.org/en/videogalleryView/id/2512/
