Dear John, No patient should face discrimination when seeking medical care or health insurance. Unfortunately, women with heart disease know all too well that sometimes sexism and bias can impact their care. Now you have the chance to speak up! New federal regulations propose to roll back some of the protections currently in place that protect patients from discrimination If enacted, the regulations would eliminate the general prohibition on discrimination based on gender identity and open the door for insurance companies to discriminate in their marketing and benefit design. Tell the Administration you oppose this proposal to weaken patients’ protections from discrimination. The opportunity to comment ends Tuesday, August 13. Thank you for standing up for women living with and at risk of heart disease and all patients. Best, Amy Friedrich-Karnik, MPP, Director, Public Policy
