Mikulski: What Health Care Reform Does for Women

Senator Barbara Mikulski took to the Senate floor to explain what the health care reform legislation does for women. Mikulski said that she was honored to play a role in making sure that the Senate ended the punitive practices of insurance companies towards women.

“For too long, in too many ways, they treated simply being a woman as a pre-existing condition. In eight states, domestic violence was viewed as a pre-existing condition. You talk about being abused, you were abused by your husband, then you were abused by your insurance company. Well, we’re not going to be battered any more by these companies,” said Mikulski.
