Preserve Women's Health Care

Preserve Women's Health Care!	Take Action!
One of the first acts of the new Congress will be a vote on the repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the health care reform law enacted last year. To repeal this law, however, is to harm women and their families, and to once again allow insurance companies to treat being a woman as a pre-existing condition. Many parts of the health care reform bill constituted a step forward for women's health in a number of ways. Repeal would again allow insurance companies to deny women coverage if they've had a Cesarean section, breast or cervical cancer, or received medical treatment for domestic or sexual violence. Repeal will eliminate the extension of dependent coverage to children up to age 26 and allow insurers to deny children coverage for pre-existing conditions and to require women to get a referral to see their ob/gyn. Repealing this law means returning to the old, broken system in which women paid a steep price in their health care just for being women. Take Action! Urge your Representative to vote NO on H.R. 2 and H.Res. 9, the bills which would repeal the health care reform law.
