Last week Scott Brown proudly announced he would lead the charge for an extreme measure being considered in the U.S. Senate that would allow employers and insurance companies to deny medical coverage.
The “Blunt amendment” that Brown is pushing goes so far beyond religious institutions and birth control that a Boston Globe columnist wondered if Brown had wandered off in to “crazyland” and a columnist for the Boston Herald said he had “sided with the nuts.”
And for good reason.
Under Brown’s plan, employers and insurance companies can refuse to cover ANY treatment for ANY person.
This measure is a threat to women…and everyone else.

Imagine CEOs in board rooms looming over doctors offices, deciding which medical care they will let you have – it sounds like something out of a dystopian novel, but the bill Scott Brown has endorsed could make this your reality.
President Obama’s health care reform does not require any religious institution to cover contraception. This is yet another issue where the Republicans have created controversy out of thin air to change the subject from their anti-middle class agenda.
We can only stop Scott Brown if we make sure the truth gets out – that’s why we need your help.
