Health Insurance

The health care law makes preventive care more accessible and affordable to millions of Americans. This is especially important to women, who are more likely than men to go without necessary health care, including preventive care, because of cost. To help address these cost barriers and make sure all women have access to preventive health care, the health care law requires all new and non-grandfathered private insurance plans to cover a wide range of preventive services without co-payments or other cost sharing requirements.

The Reform Matters conference calls are monthly conversations among women's health care and reproductive rights advocates to focus on health care reform policy at the state and federal levels, provide an on-going forum to learn from one another, and share experiences and questions that have come up in addressing various health care reform proposals. Calls take place the second Thursday of every month. This resource links to all of the Reform Matters agendas for the year 2012.
