National Women's Law Center: A MAJOR ADVANCEMENT IN HEALTH CARE REFORM
A MAJOR ADVANCEMENT IN HEALTH CARE REFORM
Next Step Must Meet Women's Reproductive Health Care Needs
Today, the House voted 220 to 215 to pass the Affordable Health Care for America Act (H.R.3962).
The following is a statement by Marcia D. Greenberger, Co-President of the National Women's Law Center (NWLC):
"NWLC is both gratified that the House passed this vitally important reform for women and their families, and outraged that anti-choice forces would use this major advance to subvert essential health care for women by taking away women's ability to purchase coverage for abortion care with their own funds in the health insurance exchanges.
"The NWLC will not rest until women have health care reform that meets their essential needs, including their reproductive health care needs. The Center calls on the Administration and the leadership in the House and the Senate to secure that result in the Senate and in Conference. Any other outcome is both dangerous to women's health and unacceptable."
