House Republicans are aiming to vote on a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act on Friday, April 28, and it’s a nightmare for parents and pregnant women.
If it passes, insurance companies will no longer have to cover maternity care. Plus, experts estimate that if you’re pregnant and need to get health insurance, it might cost you as much as $17,000 more under this plan!
Insurance companies won’t have to treat people with pre-existing conditions like everyone else. So if, God forbid, your little one gets really sick — you could be denied.
Spread the word about the impact of this new bill on families. A public outcry stopped the last attempt to repeal the ACA and this bill is even worse. Will you share this with folks in your network?
