Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand Moves to Safeguard Health-Care Law’s Protections for Women
U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) announced Tuesday that she will introduce a measure to safeguard key women’s health protections implemented through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) with an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2017 Budget Resolution.
The measure “would make it so that anyone in Congress trying to destroy the Affordable Care Act would not be allowed to touch women’s health-care services,” the New York senator told reporters during a Tuesday press call. “It would ensure that the women’s health protections in the Affordable Care Act are safe and that they will continue to be safe going forward.”
