Leave Health Care to Doctors, not Employers
Republicans in Congress want to put your boss right in your bedroom, deciding whether you have access to contraception and even what kind you can use. And the vote is tomorrow. It's Senator Roy Blunt's radical response to President Obama's balanced approach to ensuring that women have access to birth control coverage.
Now he wants to let any employer deny coverage for any health care treatment to which they claim a religious or moral objection. That means your employer could claim an objection to almost any kind of medical treatment: contraception, HIV treatment, vaccination, substance-abuse counseling, blood transfusions, prenatal care for unmarried women, or mental health care, just to name a few.
Having someone else's beliefs dictate your ability to get care isn't religious freedom, and it isn't good for workers, families, or public health and safety. Tell the Senate that you don't want your boss to decide if you get the health care you need.
A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to your Senators.
