         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.
