Rep. Renee Ellmers: Obamacare is a 'war on women'

The Affordable Care Act is an example of a “war on women,” Rep. Renee Ellmers, R-N.C., said Saturday in the Republicans’ weekly address.

Women make many of their families’ health care decisions, Ellmers said, emphasizing that she was speaking not only as a congresswoman and chairwoman of the Republican Women’s Policy Committee, but also as the mother of a college student.

Ellmers said that the cancellations of some insurance policies showed that “the Obama administration is essentially saying it knows what’s best for you and your family. Not only that, they are making you pay more – usually much more – and in many cases, taking away the doctor you’ve been seeing for years.”

She added: “If you want to talk about a ‘war on women,’ look no further than this health care law.”
