The latest attempt to repeal and replace President Obama's Affordable Care Act (ACA) eliminates the ACA’s historic expansions of coverage for maternity care and birth control. It also strips away protections designed to end decades of gender-biased pricing in the insurance industry.
Sen. Richard Burr, Sen. Orrin Hatch, and Rep. Fred Upton recently unveiled their replacement for the Affordable Care Act. Their proposal, the “Patient CARE Act,” would significantly roll back the health coverage, guaranteed benefits, and protections women and their families enjoy under the ACA.
It’s outrageous that, in their zeal to score political points by repealing the ACA, Republicans are willing to do so much damage to women and their families. If enough of us speak out, Republicans will be forced to think twice before passing this bill.
Please join CREDO and Daily Kos in defending women against Republicans attacks on health care coverage.
Keep fighting,
