                           AMERICAN WOMEN WIN

  (Ms. SPEIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. SPEIER. Madam Speaker, today American women win. Congress has 
finally done something right. No more copays for contraception. No more 
copays for mammograms. No more copays for well-women visits. No more 
copays for diabetes screening, DV counseling, HPV DNA testing, or HIV 
screening.
  So what does that mean to women in America?
  Women in America today are saving money. For contraception alone, 
they'll save $400 to $600 a year. For all women in this country, it's a 
billion dollars worth of savings because the Affordable Care Act was 
passed by Congress and signed by the President of the United States.
  Yes, President Obama does care. And yes, American women win.
