“Under the Affordable Care Act, we made many changes that made a huge difference in the lives of everyday American families. It said to women of America you can’t be charged more just because you’re a woman. It said you can’t be dropped [from] coverage when you become pregnant! Imagine becoming pregnant and having your insurer drop your coverage because you no longer are economic, or you cost too much money. Imagine being a cancer survivor and having your coverage dropped because you survived cancer, and you cost too much money.
In the Affordable Care Act, we made sure contraception, preventive care service, health care screenings, [and] mammograms were affordable and accessible, and if we take that away these families are left without the basic care they need to survive.
So if you love women and you love your mothers and daughters and wives, please do not unwind the Affordable Care Act. We need women’s health protected.”
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is a true champion for women and families!
ICYMI: Senator Kirsten Gillibrand was on The Colbert Report!
We can’t afford to wait until the system is fixed before you make your voice heard. Whether the Democrats or Republicans control the Senate depends on what happens on November 4th.
If you just stand back and watch, you’ll have no control over the outcome. So bring a friend and vote November 4.
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
