NWLC Letter to Secretary Sebelius: Essential Health Benefits Bulletin, Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight
On December 16, 2011, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a bulletin outlining their plans to implement the Essential Health Benefits provision of the Affordable Care Act.
The components of the Essential Health Benefit package are one of the most important parts of the health care law because they are intended to correct longstanding discriminatory practices that women face in the vast majority of states. The National Women’s Law Center submitted these comments to make sure these discriminatory practices are put to an end and the health needs of women are met.
