Maloney (D-NY), el Servicio de Impuestos Internos (IRS) anunci\u00f3 que revocar\u00e1 un fallo que niega que los equipos utilizados para ayudar a las mujeres a amamantar est\u00e9n cubiertos como un gasto de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica. El fallo anterior excluy\u00f3 los extractores de leche de la cobertura de las cuentas flexibles de gastos de salud y los hizo no deducibles en las declaraciones de impuestos.<\/p>\n<p>Merkley, Harkin, Levin y Maloney escribieron al comisionado del IRS, Douglas Shulman, en noviembre para pedir que se revocara la decisi\u00f3n. A los Senadores Merkley y Harkin se unieron otros 9 Senadores; Otros 32 miembros de la C\u00e1mara se unieron a los representantes Levin y Maloney.<\/p>\n<p>En respuesta a la decisi\u00f3n de hoy, los senadores Merkley y Harkin y los representantes Levin y Maloney emitieron la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cLa decisi\u00f3n de hoy es una gran victoria para las madres lactantes en todo el mundo. La medicina moderna ha documentado numerosos beneficios para la salud relacionados con la lactancia materna, incluido un menor riesgo de enfermedad en los beb\u00e9s y un menor riesgo de c\u00e1ncer en las madres. Y debido a que la lactancia materna es tan efectiva para prevenir enfermedades, tambi\u00e9n ahorra miles de millones en costos de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica. Agradecemos al IRS por su cuidadosa consideraci\u00f3n y r\u00e1pida respuesta\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Un PDF de la completa <a href=\"http:\/\/maloney.house.gov\/documents\/women\/breastfeeding\/20101123BreastfeedingIRSHouseLetter.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">La carta de los miembros de la C\u00e1mara al Comisionado Shulman se puede encontrar aqu\u00ed<\/a>; el <a href=\"http:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/es\/imo\/media\/doc\/11.23.10%20IRS%20letter%20re%20breastfeeding%20equipment1.pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">La versi\u00f3n del Senado est\u00e1 aqu\u00ed<\/a>.
