Questions for Policymakers about Birth Control Coverage and Access

There are many different proposals being offered by different policymakers regarding how to reform the current health care system.  Some of these proposals could exacerbate existing gaps in affordable access to the full range of contraceptive methods.  It’s important to know where policymakers stand when it comes to contraceptive coverage and access.  These questions are ones we encourage you to ask in any setting where you have the opportunity to interact with legislators. We also include supporting data and resources to help educate legislators about the importance and benefits of all women having affordable access to all contraceptive methods.  Make your voice heard and please share widely!
