Jeanne Shaheen said "There will be. If I could ask one final question because not only is this effort in the Senate happening behind closed doors, but initially it excluded women. Women are more than 50 percent of this country. We have particular needs when it comes to healthcare. Fortunately, the essential health benefits part of the Affordable Care Act provide requirements for preventive health for women, for mammograms. They cover maternity benefits when you have a baby. They are talking about writing this legislation without taking into consideration the women in the Senate, the women in the country, and what we need to do to make sure we have access to healthcare. That is just unconscionable, added to the fact that it is all being done behind closed doors." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
