Senate Passes Mikulski’s Women’s Health Amendment
Health care is a women’s issue, health care reform is a must-do women’s issue and health insurance reform is a must-change women’s issue. Women pay more for health insurance and get less. For far too long, many insurance companies have treated simply being a woman as a pre-existing condition. They’ve used every trick in the book to deny coverage to women.
That’s why I’m so proud the Senate passed the Mikulski Amendment. It guarantees access to preventive tests that save money and save women’s lives. It requires insurance companies to cover preventive care and screenings at no added cost to women.
Without my amendment, there would be no guarantee that women under 50 would be covered for mammograms, no guarantee of an annual women’s health exam that would include screenings for heart disease, and no guarantee that women would have access to this preventive care at no cost.
Senate approval of my Amendment is a big step forward. But with votes on the final legislation ahead, the fight’s not over yet. Women can count on me to keep fighting for them on the Senate floor and all the way to the White House to end punitive insurance company practices that discriminate against women in the insurance marketplace.
