On Tuesday, March 7, three
important bills are up for a hearing before the House Committee on
Corporations.
They are:
House
Bill 5486 (sponsored
by Rep. Katherine Kazarian) defines contraception as a preventive health care
service not subject to patient cost-sharing, similar to the rule under
the Affordable Care Act, and allows full-year prescriptions for birth
control.
House
Bill 5530 (sponsored
by Representative Moira Walsh) would repeal the antiquated and offensive
marriage requirement from Rhode Island’s health insurance mandate for coverage
of infertility services.
House
Bill 5435 will
repeal the anti-union prohibition on state employee’s health insurance covering
abortion services.
These are three concrete ways
Rhode Island can stand up against the radical right-wing agenda of President
Trump, Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Leader Mitch McConnell.
It has never been more important
to raise our voices in support of reproductive freedom!
Thank you!
