They are targeting Women's Healthcare in NC--Contact Sen. Burr

[Horse with no Name]

(from Planned Parenthood email)

NC Senator Richard Burr publicly says he considers the nation's
number one domestic issue to be health care. Tomorrow he has an
opportunity to prove that his actions match his words.

Senator Burr is a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor
and Pensions (HELP) Committee. This week this committee will
take up the "Health Insurance Marketplace Modernization and
Affordability Act (HIMMA, S. 1955)."

This bill allows insurance plans to ignore state benefit
protections. If passed, women in North Carolina will suffer
drastic cuts to their health care, including: contraceptive
coverage, direct access to Ob/Gyns, osteoporosis screening,
maternity care, cervical cancer screening, and well-child care.

S. 1955 not only allows insurance plans to ignore state laws
that protect patients; it will also increase costs for the older
and sicker people who need health insurance most.

ACT NOW! This bill is bad for women, bad for health care, and
bad for North Carolina. It will come to a vote in Senator Burr's
committee tomorrow--Wednesday, March 8!

Call Senator Burr TODAY at [phone] and urge him to VOTE
NO on HIMMA, S. 1955.
