A stroll through some of the items Paul Ryan supports:

• Repealing the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which would allow insurance companies to continue to charge women higher premiums than men, deny coverage to women due to preexisting conditions, and refuse to cover maternity care; deprive about 17 million women access to affordable health insurance and Medicaid; and increase the cost of prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries and preventive care services, including contraceptive services.

• Slashing Medicaid by more than 20 percent over the next ten years and converting it to a block grant,causing over 14 million low-income Americans to lose coverage by 2021. Medicaid cuts would especially hurt women, who make up 70 percent of adult Medicaid beneficiaries.

• Raising the Medicare eligibility age to 67 and replacing the Medicare guarantee with a premium support voucher for people currently under 55. The voucher would likely be inadequate to purchase traditional Medicare coverage, so costs would be pushed onto beneficiaries – a majority of whom are women.

• Cutting funding for non-defense discretionary programs, many of which women disproportionately rely on — such as child care, Head Start, job training, Pell Grants, housing and energy assistance, and more — by $1.2 trillion over 10 years on top of the cuts needed to comply with the reduced funding caps in the Budget Control Act. The Ryan budget would not only exempt defense programs from cuts but would increase defense spending by about $200 billion over 10 years.

• Cutting the Supplemental Nutritional Program (SNAP/Food Stamps) by more than 17 percent over ten years, the equivalent of cutting more than eight million people. It also would convert this highly effective safety net program, whose recipients are mostly women, to a block grant that would not respond to increased need during recessions.

• Cutting other mandatory income security programs such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) by about $463 billion. Women represent two-thirds of elderly SSI beneficiaries and 86 percent of adult TANF beneficiaries.

• Putting cuts to Social Security benefits on a fast track and rejecting proposals that would strengthen Social Security by raising revenues from the highest earners. Women are a large majority of adult Social Security recipients and rely on income from Social Security to a greater extent than men do.
