The Blunt Amendment Hurts Americans

In one week, the Senate will vote on a measure introduced by Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO) that would not only overturn the birth control coverage benefit, but would undermine the entire notion of health insurance. The Blunt proposal says that employers and insurance companies do not have to provide coverage for ANY essential health service that they object to on the basis of personal religious belief or moral convictions which can include birth control, maternity care, HIV/AIDS treatment, mammograms, cancer screenings, you name it.

Everyone in this country deserves a basic standard of health insurance coverage - tell your Senators to vote NO on the Blunt amendment.
