We feared it was coming but it’s still a shock: Bush's final attack on women's health care just arrived.
With the clock ticking, it was issued just 34 days before the new administration takes office and now the new regulation from Health and Human Services is no longer a threat, but a reality.
What does it mean?
It means the Bush administration is once again undermining women’s health by allowing doctors, physicians, and health care workers of all kinds to deny patients vital health care information and services, without the patient even knowing.
This rule puts everyone’s access to basic health care services and information in jeopardy. And it means that the rule will likely be fully implemented when President-elect Obama takes office.
But it doesn’t mean this fight is over.
Word has it that the incoming administration is already considering its antidote to Bush’s bad medicine.
In the meantime, we are calling on them to overturn the regulation.
