Margot Sanger-Katz, health care correspondent for the "The Upshot" at The New York Times, discusses the many government programs that would be affected if the Affordable Care Act were to be struck down, including workplace lactation rooms, menu calorie information and more.
"Obamacare was a very friendly law for women who were lactating. Employers needed to provide a private space where women can pump breast milk at work," says @sangerkatz. "It also said that lactation counseling and breast pumps should be covered as standard insurance benefits."
