• Critical condition. Yesterday's passage of the Republican health-care bill in the House raised a host of very valid concerns about what the measure would mean for women, should it become law. Some of the more terrifying headlines I saw even proclaimed that the bill makes simply being a woman "essentially a preexisting condition." Let's take a closer look at what that means.

The bill doesn't specify what sort of preexisting conditions insurers may take into account if states seek a waiver from the existing federal law (which requires that companies cover people with such conditions). But there is a precedent for insurers treating sexual assault, Caesarean sections, domestic violence, and postpartum depression as grounds for either denying coverage or charging higher premiums.

The measure would also affect women's health in other ways: It would block Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid reimbursements for one year unless its clinics stop offering abortions, slashing roughly 30% of its revenue.

Of course, it's too early to know whether any of this will actually become law. The bill must still make its way through the Senate—and whatever version emerges from that chamber must go back through the House. But for women who are frightened about the potential implications for their health care, even today's passage sets off alarm bells.
