Affordable Care Act - New Insurance Benefits For Women's Health

Submitted by Liz Schulte on Wed, 08/01/2012 - 3:38pm

The Affordable Care Act has made historic changes that improve women's health coverage.  Historically, women in the US haven't always had equal access to affordable coverage for essential women's health services.

The ACA has made great strides in providing women equal access to the health care services they need, a huge victory for women in the U.S.   The ACA has made changes already to improve access to affordable coverage for women and more changes will come in 2014.

NOBCC joins National Breast Cancer Coalition in Applauding the Supreme Court's Decision on Affordable Care Act

Submitted by Liz Schulte on Thu, 06/28/2012 - 5:50pm

Access to affordable, quality health care is one of the most critical components in helping end breast cancer.  It's been a top priority of both Northern Ohio Breast Cancer Coalition Fund (NOBCC) and National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC) for the last several years.

We join NBCC in applauding today's decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).  The Act, when fully enacted will improve access to affordable care, protect the rights of patients and improve the quality of cancer care across the U.S.
