Wyden Hails Biden-Harris Action to Expand Access to Contraception
New Proposed Measure Would Increase Availability of No-Cost Over-the-Counter and Prescription Contraception
Washington, D.C. – Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden, D-Ore., today hailed the announcement of a proposed rule from the Biden-Harris administration that would expand access and lower costs for contraception for Americans with private health insurance.
“As Trump and his radical Republican allies restrict women’s reproductive health care, today’s action by the Biden-Harris administration shows there is a different path: expanded access and lower costs for women’s health care,” Wyden said. “I’m all in on the effort to ensure Americans across the country can get the reproductive health care they need without worrying about cost or prosecution by ideological crusaders.”
Last year, Wyden urged the administration to improve coverage for contraception, especially over-the-counter products that don’t require a prescription.
Earlier this year, Senate Republicans blocked an effort to protect a woman’s right to birth control.
