In a new video on the official White House blog, Michelle Obama invokes her role as a woman and mother to make the case for health insurance reform. In the video, the First Lady shares a personal story about her daughter Sasha's meningitis, saying, "If we hadn't had insurance, if we couldn't afford a doctor... Our daughter could have lost her hearing, or possibly even her life."The White House video entry also includes a personal story from cancer survivor Roxi Griffin, who even with insurance was left with thousands of dollars in medical bills from her life-saving treatment. Kathleen Sebelius explains that a lot of "women have pretty good health insurance coverage for them and their families, until they get sick." Michelle Obama's passionate argument concludes with a familiar message about health care reform: "If you already have insurance that you like, you keep your insurance. This plan just puts in place some basic rules to protect you from abuses and unfair practices.""Barack's p watch
