Most people don't know that the Affordable Care Act is the strongest women's health law since Medicare. If you look around the country you can see millions of American women getting more freedom in their health care choices.
It's about time.
Despite all the progress women have made in the workplace, when President Obama took office less than half of us had the option of getting health insurance through our employer. That meant that many of us had to look for coverage in the individual market where the insurance companies had most of the power. If you had a breast cancer diagnosis, they could deny your application. Sometimes, they could even deny you coverage if you had been a victim of domestic violence. If your child had diabetes, they could deny him or her coverage, too. YAHOO
