Si bien algunos han sugerido que permitamos que esta pr\u00e1ctica<br \/>\nContinuar, el senador Jeff Merkley est\u00e1 de acuerdo en que no podemos tratar la atenci\u00f3n a las mujeres<br \/>\ndiferente a c\u00f3mo nos preocupamos por los hombres.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">\u201cHa habido alguna sugerencia de que las compa\u00f1\u00edas de seguros<br \/>\nno deber\u00eda tener que cubrir servicios que afectan s\u00f3lo a las mujeres. O que ellos<br \/>\nSe deber\u00eda seguir permitiendo cobrar m\u00e1s a las mujeres por las mismas pol\u00edticas.&nbsp;<br \/>\nEso es rid\u00edculo. A ning\u00fan estadounidense se le deber\u00eda cobrar m\u00e1s ni negarle servicios b\u00e1sicos<br \/>\ncobertura m\u00e9dica por su g\u00e9nero.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">\u201cDesafortunadamente, eso es exactamente lo que est\u00e1 sucediendo.<br \/>\nhoy. Si bien Oreg\u00f3n ha ido m\u00e1s lejos que muchos estados en la prevenci\u00f3n<br \/>\ndiscriminaci\u00f3n de g\u00e9nero en los seguros, en algunas zonas del pa\u00eds las mujeres no tienen<br \/>\nprotecciones para que no se les cobre m\u00e1s que a los hombres. Comienza el homenaje a las familias<br \/>\nasegurarse de que cada miembro de la familia reciba los servicios de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica<br \/>\nnecesitan. Debemos poner fin a la pr\u00e1ctica de discriminar por motivos de<br \/>\ng\u00e9nero y garantizar que todos los estadounidenses sean tratados por igual\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, DC &ndash;
