The League of Women Voters of Virginia supports HB 1182. Contraception is an integral part of comprehensive health care, including - but going far beyond - pregnancy prevention. Accessible contraception is critical for a range of healthcare needs in addition to pregnancy prevention such as hormonal regulation, endometriosis, uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts to name just a few. We believe that contraceptives should be accessible to all. Eliminating burdensome co-pays, cost-sharing, reimbursement requirements and coverage delays would decrease barriers to utilization of contraceptives and increase reproductive health equity in Virginia. HB 1182 would enhance access to this essential care, and we urge you to support it.
