Supreme Court Upholds Health Care Law

I do not say this lightly — today is a GREAT day for women and their families. And it’s only possible because you helped us fight for this historic health care law. Celebrate with us and share it with your family and friends!

The Supreme Court's decision to uphold the health care law means that millions of women and their families can rest assured they will experience all its benefits, including:

• Women will no longer be considered a pre-existing condition by insurance companies and be charged more than men for the same health coverage.
• Preventive health services like mammograms, birth control, and well women visits will be covered without a co-pay or deductible.
• Women will no longer be denied health coverage for having survived domestic violence or rape, or having had a Caesarean section.
• Maternity care will be included in all health care plans.
• And tens of millions of women will gain financial access to coverage, whether through the Medicaid program or help with insurance premiums.

We will continue to fight to make sure that the health care law is fully implemented and that all women realize the benefits of this historic law.

But for today — it's about celebrating.
