Testimonio ante el Congreso estadounidense (23 de febrero de 2012)

Testimonio ante el Congreso estadounidense (23 de febrero de 2012)
Original: «Her claim was denied repeatedly on the assumption that she really wanted the birth control to prevent pregnancy. She’s gay, so clearly polycystic ovarian syndrome was a much more urgent concern than accidental pregnancy. After months of paying over $100 out of pocket, she just couldn’t afford her medication anymore and had to stop taking it. I learned about all of this when I walked out of a test and got a message from her that in the middle of her final exam period she’d been in the emergency room all night in excruciating pain. … Without her taking the birth control, a massive cyst the size of a tennis ball had grown on her ovary. She had to have surgery to remove her entire ovary.»
Testimonio ante el Congreso estadounidense (23 de febrero de 2012)
