Merkley: It's about putting women back in charge of their own health care

Oregon's Senator Jeff Merkley addressed the Senate on July 16, 2014, in support of a bill to prevent employers from refusing to cover critical women's health care services, including contraception, as required to be covered by federal law. Merkley is a cosponsor of the Protecting Women's Health from Corporate Interference Act, also known as the Not My Boss' Business Act -- being debated this week -- which would fix the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision by making it illegal for companies to refuse to cover health services guaranteed under federal law.
