comes to ensuring HC coverage for All Americans...Rich and Poor alike.

...here's what the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has to say about the first step toward that end...the Affordable Care Act...why would anyone who cares about the well being of All patients object to ensuring coverage to All...regardless of ability to pay?

AI Overview

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) strongly supports and advocates for preserving and expanding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). ACOG views the legislation as a vital framework for improving women's health outcomes, reducing health inequities, and ensuring comprehensive coverage across the lifespan. [1, 2, 3]

Key Pillars of ACOG's Position

• Guaranteed Preventive Services: ACOG supports the ACA's mandate that private insurance plans cover preventive health services—such as well-woman visits, screenings, and FDA-approved contraceptives—with zero out-of-pocket cost-sharing. [1, 2, 3]
• Maternity and Reproductive Care: ACOG emphasizes the importance of ACA provisions securing essential health benefits, which expanded maternity and newborn care coverage to millions of women and reduced the uninsured rate among reproductive-age women. [1, 2]
• Medicaid and Coverage Expansion: ACOG advocates for strengthening Medicaid—the single largest payer of maternity care in the U.S.—and opposes legislative changes or work requirements that create coverage gaps, restrict immigrant access, or result in uncompensated care for providers. [1, 2]
• Opposition to Exemptions or Rollbacks: ACOG consistently opposes regulatory, legislative, or judicial actions that undermine the ACA's contraceptive mandates or allow employers/insurers to drop comprehensive reproductive health coverage based on religious or moral exemptions.
