On January 29 we posted that
North Carolina Women United,
a state-wide advocacy group, held meetings to discuss what issues North Carolina women are most concerned about.
The number one issue for women in 2008 was healthcare. It seems to be on everyone's mind.
Well, the senate, too, is discussing this very important issue. I watched much of the 3 hour discussion today and it was very informative. Go to
www.CSPAN.org to view the panel discussion in its entirety.
