THREAD: #GrahamCassidy isn’t just bad for women's health - it’s catastrophic. Here are FIVE things you need to know:
#DoNoHarm

1. #GrahamCassidy wld block care at @PPFA, leaving many w/ nowhere to turn for basic care like cancer screenings & birth control. #DoNoHarm

1 in 5 women rely on @PPFA. Over half of PPFA patients rely on Medicaid. 56% of PP clinics are in underserved areas. #DoNoHarm #SaveMedicaid

We’ve seen what happens on the state level when policies like this are in place. It’s devastating. #DoNoHarm #GrahamCassidy

2. #GrahamCassidy will force new moms to choose between being w/ their newborn or keeping their insurance. #DoNoHarm

That’s right - the bill will force people back to work only 60 days after they have a baby, or they lose their health insurance. #DoNoHarm

3. #GrahamCassidy will eliminate cvrg requirements for critical #reprohealth care, like birth control or maternity care, & drive premiums up

4. Women w/ pre-ex conditions-incl pregnancy, breast cancer, eating disorders, & C-section births-will be charged more, depending on state.

Before ACA, 65 mil women were considered to have a pre-ex condition. Insurance companies will again be allowed to charge them more #DoNoHarm

For many, this could mean your health insurance isn’t just more expensive - it’s completely out of reach. #DoNoHarm

5. #GrahamCassidy will force private plans to drop abortion cvrg almost immediately by blocking tax credits for plans including it #DoNoHarm

This would make plans that cover abortion almost IMPOSSIBLE for many to afford. #DoNoHarm #GrahamCassidy

If #GrahamCassidy becomes law, the impacts will be dire - esp for women of color. Call your Senator & tell them to vote NO: 1-866-665-4470
