On Thursday, the House voted narrowly to pass a bill that would repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, bringing the Republicans one step closer towards their goal of dramatically—and, many argue, catastrophically—reshaping the healthcare system in America.The bill, which has been called "cruel" and "horrific," would threaten the coverage of over 24 million Americans, eviscerate protections for people with pre-existing conditions, decimate Medicaid expansions, and defund Planned Parenthood. It's now headed to the Senate, where "it awaits an uncertain fate," according to Politico.Many of the provisions of the replacement healthcare bill threaten women's access to basic healthcare, with low-income women and women from marginalized populations particularly burdened. In addition to stripping Planned Parenthood of federal funding, the new healthcare bill would eliminate guaranteed coverage of essential health benefits like maternity and newborn care and mental health care, and allow insurance companies to charge patients higher premiums based on their medical history—which would be particularly harmful to women, as rape, domestic violence, and C-sections are all considered preexisting conditions.Read more on Broadly.
