Refusals of Care & Discrimination

A health care provider’s personal beliefs should never dictate health care – a patient’s health must always come first.

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.
