Women Are Responding To The GOP Healthcare Plan

This week, Republicans in the House of Representatives unveiled their proposed replacement to the Obama administration's Affordable Care Act, which you likely know as Obamacare. President Trump has lent his support to the GOP plan, leading to the equally affectionate "Trumpcare." The new bill makes good on a Republican campaign promise to repeal and replace Obamacare, but it's not a promise all Americans wanted the GOP to keep. In particular, women have reacted to Trumpcare on Twitter with the most painfully honest messages.

It shouldn't be surprising that women have complaints about the new plan. After all, the GOP's plan threatens Americans' access to abortion, birth control, mammograms, and other important services for women. The bill eliminates the minimum essential coverage requirements that made the Affordable Care Act so beneficial for women. In other words, insurance companies would not be required to cover birth control, maternity care, or preventative gynecological care. Not to mention, the GOP plan could drive some Planned Parenthood clinics to close because of a lack of funding, and abortions could get more expensive.

It's too early to know the full impact of the Trump-supported healthcare plan, but for these women, it's not too early to be concerned.
