Did you know that before
Obamacare, women paid nearly 70% more than men for out-of-pocket medical costs?
Planned Parenthood created this graphic about that fact and other mind-boggling statistics explaining why women in particular benefit from the Affordable Care Act:
Some quick highlights:
- Before the ACA, 1 in 5 women ages 15 to 44 were uninsured
- Now almost 13 million uninsured women in that age range will be able to get health insurance
- There are now no copays for preventative care, if you have Medicaid or private insurance
- Insurers can’t charge women more than men anymore
Share if you’re excited about how Obamacare helps women!
