TODAY, In The Midst Of Measles Outbreak - GOP Votes To STOP Children's Access To Free Vaccines

[kpete]

Today the GOP House will vote, for the 52nd time, to repeal Obamacare.

One provision of the ACA states that all newly-written health plans - whether they be private, employer-provided, purchased on exchange, etc - will provide free preventive care.

Free preventive care includes free immunizations for adults, for influenza, for example; and for children for such devastating diseases as measles, mumps, Rubella.

................

So, in a serendipity the GOP did not foresee, and the American media will surely ignore unless we do something this morning to publicize it, today, while we are in the midst of a measles outbreak, House Republicans will be voting "yes" to repealing free access to measles vaccines for insured Americans.

3. They are counting on people remaining blissfully ignorant

Of exactly what things they are allowed to get through their health insurance...thanks to changes in their coverage because of "Obamacare". My husband recently had a follow-up visit with his doctor for a virus. While he was there she noted it was time for a "wellness check up". That involved some standard lab tests....lipid panel, Complete Blood Count, PSA. He was told that it would be covered by his Medicare and/or the Medicare Supplemental policy we have. The powers that be in the Administration need to be telling people through Public Service Announcements or written information from their insurance companies what some of the changes are so that they can appreciate and take advantage of the benefits. And I don't mean in a 150 page booklet that is dry and boring and DIFFICULT to read. Just a one or two page summary of the things that have changed and will be beneficial to the insured person. Yes, the big book is necessary, too, but if you want people to know about the changes, make it easy to read and understand..

The Repubs don't want people to know the good stuff that has come about due to Obamacare....which is WHY they opposed it in the first place and continue to try to do away with it. If enough people wake up, they WON'T be able to succeed in killing it.
