Support Access to Full Spectrum Pregnancy Care

Pregnancy is uniquely important to all of us. Every Bay Stater must have access to the full spectrum of pregnancy-related care so that we all can decide if, when, and how to have a family or raise children. But exorbitant out of pocket health care costs can put essential pregnancy-related care out of reach to those who need it, particularly people of color, harming patients, families, and women. These costs can put people in an impossible position: either scrape together enough money that they may not have, go into medical debt, or not seek out basic health care.

Cost should never prevent people from accessing care, especially in a state with such high-quality health care. Whether it's deciding to start a family, grow a family, or end a pregnancy, pregnancy care must be affordable and accessible to all Bay Staters. That is reproductive equity.

An Act Ensuring Access to Full Spectrum Pregnancy Care (H1196, S673) filed by Representatives Lindsey Sabadosa and Ruth Balser, and Senator Cindy Friedman, would mandate insurance coverage for all pregnancy-related care, including abortion care, prenatal care, childbirth, and post-partum care, without any kind of cost-sharing.

Everyone should be able to determine their own reproductive lives and futures, but that is simply not possible with high out of pocket costs. Contact your state legislators and urge them to support An Act Ensuring Access to Full Spectrum Pregnancy Care!

Please support access to full spectrum pregnancy care

Dear [elected official],

Personalize your message

Everyone should be able to decide if, when, and how they have a family. Therefore, as your constituent, I believe it is of the utmost importance to ensure that every Bay Stater can access the full spectrum of pregnancy related care without cost barriers.

Unfortunately, exorbitant out of pocket costs associated with high deductible health plans far too often pushes pregnancy care out of reach, particularly for communities of color. These costs can put people in an impossible position: either scrape together enough money that they may not have, go into medical debt, or not seek out basic health care. Cost should never prevent people from accessing the care they need.

We should be the ones dictating our reproductive lives and futures, not our deductibles. That is why I humbly request that you co-sponsor An Act Ensuring Access to Full Spectrum Pregnancy Care (H1196, S673), which would mandate insurance coverage for all pregnancy-related care, including abortion care, prenatal care, childbirth, and post-partum care, without any kind of cost-sharing.

Whether it’s deciding to start a family, grow a family, or end a pregnancy, pregnancy care must be affordable and accessible to all Bay Staters.

Sincerely, [Your information here]
