Senator Ted Cruz leading the GOP assault to gut and get rid of your Essential Healthcare Benefits under Obamacare. What are those benefits? Here's the list:
- Ambulatory patient services (outpatient care you get without being admitted to a hospital)
- Emergency services
- Hospitalization (like surgery and overnight stays)
- Pregnancy, maternity, and newborn care (both before and after birth), birth control coverage, breastfeeding coverage
- Mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment (this includes counseling and psychotherapy)
- Prescription drugs
- Rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices (services and devices to help people with injuries, disabilities, or chronic conditions gain or recover mental and physical skills)
- Laboratory services
- Preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management
- Pediatric services, including oral and vision care (but adult dental and vision coverage aren’t essential health benefits)
Additionally, the GOP wants to get rid of laws that benefit and encourage employers to provide health insurance to their employees, thus leaving every US citizen at the mercy of whatever insurers feel like they want to charge a particular individual.
Time for the US to do what every other developed nation has done, establish Universal Healthcare as part of our infrastructure just like highways, defense, national parks, and more. Universal Healthcare is a right of every citizen.
STOP THE EVIL DOING OF TED CRUZ AND ANY OTHER GOP SENATOR LIKE HIM WHO WOULD TAKE AWAY YOUR ESSENTIAL HEALTH BENEFITS AND LEAVE YOU AND OUR FELLOW CITIZENS VULNERABLE TO PERSONAL BANKRUPTCY FROM HEALTHCARE COSTS.
