Today American women win. Congress has finally done something right. No more copays for contraception. No more copays for mammograms. No more copays for well-women visits. No more copays for diabetes screening, DV counseling, HPV DNA testing, or HIV screening. So what does that mean to women in America? Women in America today are saving money. For contraception alone, they'll save $400 to $600 a year. For all women in this country, it's a billion dollars worth of savings because the Affordable Care Act was passed by Congress and signed by the President of the United States. Yes, President Obama does care. And yes, American women win. ____________________

It pains me, as I am sure it pains many of us, to hear these stories, but they are real stories.
