Our friends over at the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC) launched a new public awareness campaign yesterday entitled Being a Woman Is Not a Pre-Existing Condition aimed at educating women about health care disparities in coverage and encouraging them to contact their members of Congress to take action on these issues.

In a recent report, Still Nowhere to Turn: Insurance Companies Treat Women Like a Pre-Existing Condition, the Law Center highlighted inequalities women face in the health care system, including gender rating of premiums and being denied coverage due to preexisting conditions, such as having had a C-section and surviving domestic violence.

Quality, affordable health care for all requires meeting the needs of everyone in society and with the launch of their new campaign, the National Women’s Law Center is making sure women have a seat at the table. Check out more information at http://awomanisnotapreexistingcondition.com/.
