Political Quotes

“I rise to speak in favor of amendment No. 82. This amendment protects women's health care. Under the Affordable Care Act, we made many changes that made a huge difference in the lives of everyday American families. It said to women in America: You can't be charged more just because you are a woman. It said: You can't be dropped from coverage when you become pregnant. Imagine becoming pregnant and having your insurer drop your coverage because you no longer are economic or you cost too much money. Imagine being a cancer survivor and then having your coverage dropped because you survived cancer and you cost too much money. In the Affordable Care Act, we made sure contraception, preventive care service, health care screenings, and mammograms were affordable and accessible. If we take that away, these families are left without the basic care they need to survive. So if you love women and you love your mothers and daughters and wives, please do not unwind the Affordable Care Act. We need women's health protected, and that is what this amendment does. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wyoming.”
