clinic regulations
 

  • The regulations will increase the financial hurdles to health care for patients, with no proven medical benefit to patients. Women need more access to affordable, high quality health care, not less.
  • Is it really fair, in this economic climate, to make it more difficult for women to find affordable healthcare?  Do the right thing, and don't impose more restrictions on these clinics.  Keep access to mamograms, pap smears, birth control, and STD tests available and affordable to lower income women.
