Moving Menopause Legislation Forward - State by State!

There’s an incredible amount of work being done across the country by dedicated state representatives who are working hard to advance and pass legislation in support of greater research and access to menopause care.

Mandates such as insurance coverage, clinician training, paitent awareness and access to educational materials not only make treatments more affordable, but help expand medical expertise and public awareness around menopause.

To date, 7 states have passed BIPARTISAN legislation, resulting in 8 laws currently in place, and at least 30 bills have been introduced across 19 states - a sign of how menopause is becoming a health care priority across the country!

LTM is joining forces with these advocates to help fuel and support these initiatives across the country.  

See below for more information on those states that are active in moving legislation forward, including the six states that LTM will be focusing our efforts on this year, and get involved in helping these states pass important legislation!

That one-in-four states have proposed menopause laws shows that citizen advocacy works — and lawmakers are listening. That’s progress!

For everyone committed to women’s health, this wave of legislative visibility should fuel hope that it’s worth the collective effort to fight for bipartisan and meaningful progress. Mid-life, menopausal women must be able to make informed choices about their health, deserve access to affordable, competent medical care from trained professionals and have every right to demand lawmakers and leaders invest in solutions that ensure well-being, dignity, and humanity.

So we must be committed to fighting for continued progress!
