Dem memo to GOP women highlights benefits preserved in court ruling
House Democratic leaders are challenging the GOP's female lawmakers over women's benefits preserved by last week's Supreme Court decision to uphold President Obama's signature healthcare law.
In a mock memo addressing every member of the GOP Women's Policy Committee, the office of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is highlighting the provisions benefiting women, while suggesting the Republicans' female constituents will embrace the changes even if the lawmakers don't.
"Despite your unwavering opposition, last weeks ruling by the Supreme Court upholding the Affordable Care Act ensures that being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition ... great news for the women in your districts!" the memo reads.
The law "is also great for moms," the memo continues, "protecting children with pre-existing conditions from being denied health care coverage, providing some free preventive services to people of all ages, and letting young people up to age 26 stay on their parents health insurance policy."
