Pre-Existing - Oct. 20, 2010

MIKULSKI: Women are charged 40% more for the same health insurance as men. Domestic violence is treated as a pre-existing condition in eight states. Women are abused by their husbands and then by their insurance companies. And last year, they tried to end our coverage for mammograms and other preventive services. Well I'm proud to say – I got the law changed. I'm Barbara Mikulski. I approve this message so you'll know that being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition.
