Hi Ladies!
In an effort to answer some of the questions and concerns you've shown over the new health care law, Obama for America Deputy Campaign Director Stephanie Cutter is taking questions on it from CafeMom members. We'll be posting her answers next week on The Stir.
Whether you're for or against the new law, this is a great opportunity to get answers about it from the Obama campaign's perspective. I've seen a great deal of misinformation out there and realize it can be tough to separate fact from fiction, so I'm eager to read Ms. Cutter's responses.
Please leave any questions you have about the new law in the comments of this post and I'll forward them on to Stephanie Cutter.
Thanks!

Will those in states that recognize civil unions between two same sex individuals have the same rights to spousal insurance coverage as those who live in states where same sex marriage is leagal?
Would the new health care bill end coverage for those in domestic partnerships (no matter of same sex or hetero) when the private insurnace company at certain large jobs (I'm thinking MassMutual) allows for it.
