Senators say health care reform could address gender disparities

The health care bill’s long journey through the Senate will hit a milestone on Saturday. Senators will vote on a procedural motion that allows debate to begin. It’s being called a “test” vote, since it will give Senate leaders a sense of the support they have for the bill. Three key centrist Democrats, and Independent Joe Lieberman, have agreed to vote ‘yea’ on Saturday, leaving just one more “maybe” in Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas.

The healthcare discussion so far has raised many issues of concern. For some Senators, health care is a feminist issue. They hope Saturday’s vote will address gender disparities in the current system. FSRN'S Tanya Snyder reports from Washington.
