TODAY: Join Sandra Fluke, NWLC, and Law Students for Reproductive Justice for a Special Tweetchat

I’m very excited for a tweetchat that’s happening this afternoon at 3pm ET with Sandra Fluke, National Women's Law Center, and Law Students for Reproductive Justice! Follow the conversation at #CCEduChat.

This chat comes from the realization that a lot of students and employees of universities had questions about their contraceptive coverage under the health care law. There’s a section of the law that requires all new and non-grandfathered private insurance plans to cover a wide range of preventive services, including services such as mammograms, pap smears, smoking prevention and contraceptives without co-payments or other cost sharing requirements. The Administration even proposed an accommodation that would enable religiously-affiliated organizations beyond churches – such as universities and hospitals - to avoid directly providing contraceptive coverage if it was against their religion, but would ensure that all women are guaranteed coverage of this critical service without cost sharing.

The chat will provide a platform for students and employees to be able to ask questions about contraceptive coverage, say why they like it if they have it, or if they are excited that they are about to get it. Sandra, NWLC, and LSRJ would also love to answer any questions about what actions can be taken if students and employees think their university is going to delay coverage and they want ensure they have coverage as soon as possible.

Please join us and share with your friends, families, and colleagues!
