Podcast Idea

For my podcast, I was thinking about covering the basic care that women will be able to have thanks to Obamacare. These basic coverage will include yearly pap smears; STI, STD, and HIV tests and counseling; insurance coverage for contraceptives and counseling; screening for gestational diabetes; testing for HPV; breastfeeding support, supplies, and counseling; and screening and counseling for domestic and interpersonal violence. Thanks to these being necessities insurance providers must cover, women's overall health will increase. Women will be able to get basic aid that they will need along with counseling for any diseases or infections they may have.
For women who become pregnant, they will be able to receive tests for gestational diabetes which can cause issues during pregnancy. After giving birth, women can receive aid for breast feeding. They will receive training on how to best breast feed along with any necessary items.

  1. Good idea for the podcast. So women didn't have this coverage before the health care act? Good to know.
