Happy Mother’s Day. Today, we celebrate motherhood. We honor all the mothers out there for their love, selflessness and strength.

This year, though, we need to do more than give mom a card and flowers.

We have to make sure women are not penalized by our health care system for being moms or wanting to start a family. The House GOP health care plan gives states the option of letting insurers charge more for pre-existing conditions, which could include pregnancy and other gender-specific conditions!

Join Tammy and take a stand for mothers and future mothers across the country. Add your name to oppose the AHCA.

Under the AHCA plans would no longer have to cover maternity care and prenatal care — potentially leaving families on the hook for thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs. Even without complications, a pregnant woman could be forced to pay $17,000 more in premiums.

It’s simple — the AHCA makes being a woman and a mother more difficult, expensive, and dangerous.

So stand up for moms and add your name to help me stop it.

Thank you,

Team Baldwin
