Jeanne Shaheen said "Mr. President, amendment No. 438 establishes a deficit- neutral reserve fund to protect women's access to basic health care, including family planning and birth control. It ensures that employers cannot deny coverage for contraceptives. We have seen that improving access to preventive care, including contraception, is good health policy, and as a result it means healthier women, healthier children, and healthier families. I urge my colleagues to support this amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Nebraska." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
