Robert --

Right now, being a woman is considered a "pre-existing
condition." In fact, insurance companies are charging
women up to 50 percent more than men for the same
coverage.

How many times have you heard Republicans say this is
outrageous? Zero.

And how many times have you heard them vow to repeal the
Affordable Care Act? We've lost track.

The Affordable Care Act will close the insurance gender gap
once and for all. Beginning in 2014, it will be illegal for health
insurers to charge women more than men for the same
coverage.

So, by threatening to repeal this law, Mitt Romney and the
GOP would essentially give insurance companies license
to continue discriminating against women.

Don't let them get away with it.

Tell the GOP that being a woman should not be a
"pre-existing condition:"

Insurers charge higher premiums for women simply because
they're women -- and more likely to visit doctors and have
certain illnesses.

Under a Republican president, a 30-year-old woman in
Chicago with a popular health plan would continue to pay
31 percent more than her male counterpart. In Kentucky, a
40-year-old woman would still be charged 53 percent more
than a man for her insurance.

President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law to
ensure that every American -- man or woman -- has an equal
opportunity to access quality, affordable care.

Romney and every single Republican presidential candidate
are campaigning hard against that idea.

Stand up for the Affordable Care Act and for women's right to
affordable health care:
