Hi everyone,
I just found out about this from Planned Parenthood -- very disturbing:
The U.S. Senate is about to vote on S. 1955, better known as the "Lose Your Benefits Bill," which would allow insurance companies to ignore state laws that protect health coverage. Women especially in every state will lose benefits.
Among hundreds of other procedures and medicines, CONTRACEPTIVE, CERVICAL CANCER, and MATERNITY COVERAGE is on the chopping block (apparently a woman doesn't deserve to live through birthing). Hard-won laws in 23 states require health insurance to cover these things. If the bill passes, women in those states -- you might be one of them -- could be forced to pay out of pocket for protecting your REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH. Many would no longer be able to afford it, and some would simply go without.
We cannot let this happen -- urge your senator to vote against S. 1955.
