a little pregnant: Your cervix and the next recipients of the Super Bowl trophy will thank you

It must be a political day for me, breastfeeding and now this. Julie brought this to my attention with her latest entry. I have sent off two letters, one to Republican Elizabeth Dole and another to Republican Richard Burr. I eagerly await their responses, and will certainly share them with you.
Julie writes: The U.S. Senate is currently considering S.1955, a measure that opponents are calling the "Lose Your Benefits" bill. Formally and doublespeakfully titled the Health Insurance Marketplace Modernization and Affordability Act, this bill would allow insurance companies to flat-out ignore nearly all state laws that require coverage for certain conditions or treatments — you know, those little extras like cervical cancer screening, bone marrow transplants, alcoholism and drug abuse treatment, mental health services, breast reconstruction, minimum maternity stay, provision of diabetic supplies, inclusion of domestic partners in policy coverage, direct access to your OB-GYN, continuity of care during pregnancy, mammography, contraceptives, infertility diagnosis and treatment...
Julie has a good form letter posted as well as a link to a Senator list that has contact info easily avaliable. Please use it!!!
