Teaming Up with WebMD to Take Your Questions
By Julia Eisman, HHS New Media Communications Director
Posted July 30, 2012
Starting August 1st, and for the first time ever, women will have access to
potentially life-saving preventive care free of charge. Thanks to the
health care law, services including well-woman visits, gestational diabetes
screening, breastfeeding support and supplies, contraception, domestic
violence screening, and more will be covered without cost sharing in new
health plans starting August 2012 – giving women more control over their
own health.
To talk about these new benefits becoming available for women, we are *teaming
up with WebMD to take your questions* on what this means for women and
their families. Please join HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Annic
Jobin, WebMD’s Director of News and Partnerships, for a live online
discussion on *Wednesday, August 1st at 1:30pm EST*.
You can watch the conversation live at www.healthcare.gov/live, and submit
questions on Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/healthcaregov> at
www.facebook.com/healthcaregov or on Twitter using the hashtag *
#womenshealth*. You can also join the conversation here on
WebMD<http://blogs.webmd.com/breaking-news/2012/07/questions-wanted-free-services-for-women.html>
.

to cover, visit www.healthcare.gov/prevention. We hope you can join us for
