For decades, insurance companies discriminated against women. They charged women more or denied coverage altogether. They didn’t cover women’s health services. The health care law stopped this discrimination. We must ensure the law’s promise is fulfilled.
Under the health care law, millions of women and families who didn’t have health insurance before are now able to get the coverage they need. But we have to keep the law strong against attacks.
