Top 5 Health Care Benefits for Women in the Health Care Law

1. Being a woman is no longer a "pre-existing condition." ... Women will no longer be denied care2 for pre-existing conditions.

2. Insurance companies can't charge you more for being a woman either. Before the Affordable Care Act was law, women were sometimes charged up to 150% more than men of the same age. The health care law makes gender discrimination illegal.3

3. Having a pap smear still sucks, but at least you don't have to shell out a co-pay for it. ... whole bunch of other preventive care measures must be covered by insurance companies.4

4. You also don't need a co-pay for birth control anymore.5 And when 1 in 3 women in our country can't afford it, that's a big deal.

5. Have kids? Or want to? The law helps with that too. If you have kids, they can stay on your health insurance until they're 26 years old--regardless of whether they live with you or are married or not.6 And if you want to have kids, the law will help you get pre-natal care and counseling and help with breast feeding and supplies too.7
