Planned Parenthood thing again, ya'll. This one is about a bill that's trying to get through the Senate. It is going to take away a lot of health coverage. READ THIS! Thanks.

Subject: Want to Keep Your Health Coverage? Then Take Action.

Dear Friend,

We need your immediate action on a bill before the U.S. Senate
this week that could end basic health insurance coverage you
depend on - birth control, cancer screenings, maternity care,
and more.

Stop the Senate from ending birth control coverage protection
for millions of women.

Go here to write to your senator:
http://www.ppaction.org/campaign/benefits

Women in every state will lose benefits. It sounds like a bad
joke, but it couldn't be more serious. S. 1955 would allow
insurance plans to ignore important state laws that protect
patients, directly affecting more than 90 million Americans.
Chances are you're one of them.

That's why I'm asking you to write to your senator today and
demand that the federal government protect your health coverage:

You may have heard about this "Lose Your Benefits Bill" before,
but now it has passed out of committee and the full Senate will
vote on it. It's an insidious attempt by hardline senators to
chip away at our basic rights. These lawmakers have tried before
to restrict access to birth control and other health care you
need. Their latest strategy? Force women to pay for these
benefits out of pocket.

We've worked for decades to pass state laws that require
insurance companies to cover birth control just like other
medicines. This bill would trample those laws, but it doesn't
stop there. Besides fair coverage for contraception, here are
some of the other benefits that women could lose:

<> cancer screenings
<> mammograms
<> maternity care
<> the ability to go straight to your OB/GYN when you have a
problem
<> the ability to stay with the same doctor throughout a
pregnancy
<> infertility treatment
<> osteoporosis screenings

And it's not just women who will be affected - the bill guts
state protections for coverage for prostate cancer screenings,
ambulatory surgery, emergency services, and more. To make
matters worse, it will likely also increase the costs of health
insurance for older and sicker people who need health insurance
most.

Please take two minutes to speak out against this dangerous bill
- the Senate could vote as early as next week.

Contact your senator now:

Think of it as an investment - two minutes of activism now vs.
hundreds or thousands of dollars in extra health costs for you
and your family.

Sincerely,

Cecile Richards
President
Planned Parenthood Action Fund
