Welcome to This Week in Women's Health Care—the round-up for women who care about what's going on in Washington and around the country and how it affects their rights. Once a week, we'll bring you the latest news from the world of politics and explain how it impacts you. Let's get to it!

Here's what's up…

The GOP asked Hillary Clinton for a health care plan, and boy, did she give them one.

Earlier this week, the official GOP Twitter account published a series of tweets calling out Democrats who've acknowledged that U.S. health care policy is in serious need of reform. One of the Democrats in question? Hillary Clinton. The GOP shared a video that shows Clinton saying, "We've got to fix what's broken." And the account added the caption, "Our health care system is collapsing, but Democrats refuse to bring anything to the table. Where’s THEIR plan?" Clinton wasn't having it. She swiftly responded with a tweet linking to the health care page on her campaign site. "Right here," she wrote in the tweet. "Includes radical provisions like how not to kick 23 million people off their coverage," she said, referring to the Congressional Budget Office's estimate that the American Health Care Act would leave 23 million more Americans uninsured by 2026. "Feel free to run with it."

President Donald Trump’s surgeon general pick is actually totally qualified.

President Donald Trump has nominated Jerome Adams, Indiana Health Commissioner, to be the next U.S. Surgeon General, and Adams is more than qualified for the job. Adams, who previously worked as an anesthesiologist, has served as Indiana's top health official since October 2014, when then-Indiana Governor (now-Vice President) Mike Pence appointed him to the role. In his time as Indiana Health Commissioner, Adams has taken steps to curb HIV outbreaks by making syringe exchanges more accessible and supported laws targeting the opioid epidemic. If confirmed, Adams will oversee the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps—making him the face of federal public health efforts.

More than 100 people were shot in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend.

The Chicago Police Department is conducting a "very comprehensive review" after facing an incredibly violent holiday weekend. At least 102 people were shot in the city between late afternoon Friday (June 30) and early morning Wednesday (July 5)—15 of those people were killed, and 87 others were injured. Nearly half the shootings took place in the last 12 hours of the long weekend. A spokesperson for the police department said they'd be doing a debriefing to try to combat this kind of gun violence in the future. If anything, these harrowing numbers show that gun violence is a public health issue and should absolutely be treated as such.

Trump protesters are dressing up like handmaids in Poland, too.

Many protestors have taken to wearing Handmaid's Tale costumes to protest the current administration and its affinity for limiting women's reproductive rights. They've done it at the state level (to protest a Texas anti-abortion bill). They've done it at the federal level (to protest the GOP's Obamacare replacement). And they're doing it at the international level, too. Earlier this week, people in Poland dressed in head-to-toe Handmaid's Tale garb to greet President Trump upon his arrival in their country. The protestors didn't seem to be voicing concern over any specific legislation—just Trump's presence in Poland in general.

This Oregon reproductive health care bill is one of the most progressive in the country.

On Wednesday night, the Oregon legislature passed the Reproductive Health Equity Act of 2017—an incredibly comprehensive bill protecting women's reproductive rights in the state. For one thing, the bill requires insurers to cover reproductive health care services—like birth control, vasectomies, prenatal and postpartum care, and STI screenings—without a copay. It also protects abortion access in the state (even if Roe v. Wade is overturned) and makes state-funded postpartum care available to Oregon residents with low incomes. The bill is now on Governor Kate Brown's desk, where she can sign it into law or veto it. (Brown's strong reproductive rights record suggests she'll probably sign the bill.)

The GOP tried to gather Obamacare horror stories, but their plan royally backfired.

The Indiana Republican Party recently invited residents to share "Obamacare horror stories" on its Facebook page in an effort to rally support for the GOP's Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA). What it got instead was an overwhelming majority of comments supporting the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). "Unable to purchase health insurance on the private market due to pre-existing conditions, we have affordable coverage now with great doctors and great care," one commenter wrote. "ACA enabled my self-employed relatives to get great insurance coverage at affordable rates. Great service, too," another added.
