Following testimonials that managed
health care plans often fail to adequately cover the full costs for rehab programs, the legislation now
prohibits insurers from requiring prior approval for emergency supplies of these medications.
This latest attack on access to
care goes even further by allowing states to easily eliminate essential
health benefits like maternity
care and allowing
insurers to charge people with pre-existing conditions excessively high amounts for coverage — and yes, it also aims to «defund» Planned Parenthood
health centers by
prohibiting Medicaid patients from getting
care from the doctors they trust.
