Convenient Contraception Act

Bill 119 hr 2529, also known as the "Access to Contraception for Women Act," aims to amend title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act. The main goal of this bill is to require group health plans and health insurance issuers that offer group or individual health insurance coverage to allow enrollees to obtain a 365-day supply of contraceptives.

Currently, many health insurance plans only allow enrollees to obtain a 30 or 90-day supply of contraceptives at a time. This can be burdensome for individuals who rely on contraceptives for family planning or other health reasons. By requiring plans to provide a full year's supply of contraceptives, this bill aims to improve access to these essential medications and reduce barriers to obtaining them.

Supporters of the bill argue that providing a 365-day supply of contraceptives can help individuals better manage their reproductive health and reduce the risk of unintended pregnancies. They also argue that this change can help reduce healthcare costs in the long run by preventing unplanned pregnancies and promoting better health outcomes for individuals. Opponents of the bill may argue that it infringes on the rights of employers or insurance providers who may have religious or moral objections to contraceptives. They may also raise concerns about the potential cost implications of providing a full year's supply of contraceptives to enrollees. Overall, Bill 119 hr 2529 seeks to improve access to contraceptives for individuals by requiring health insurance plans to provide a 365-day supply. The bill is currently under consideration in Congress and may undergo further revisions before potentially becoming law.
