As the Chairwoman of the Women Veterans Task Force, my goal is to identify disparities in health care for women veterans and introduce, advocate for, and pass legislation that fixes those inequities.

Women veterans now make up the fastest growing group of veterans enrolling in VA health care. Yet, many of their health needs go unaddressed. This includes accessing basic contraceptive services without a co-pay, which is available to all women using civilian health insurance.

I introduced the Equal Access to Contraception for Veterans Act to address this critical disparity that prevents women vets from having equal access to health care, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure we fix this glaring gap in care for our women vets.

Yes, okay, good idea. But the co-pay is either 5 or 8 dollars, per script and some scripts cover 90 days - is that a barrier? Veterans in general average five prescriptions at a co-pay cost of 25 to 40 dollars a month. That can be a barrier, That's what you should be looking at.
