NoHLA Helps Washington State Protect Reproductive Health Care Access

This legislative session, we worked with legislators and other advocates to bolster reproductive health access laws to make up for gaps created at the federal level, as described in our last newsletter. Thanks to these efforts, Washington insurers are prevented from limiting access to reproductive health care. NoHLA Staff Attorney Huma Zarif co-authored a blog post about the threats with the National Health Law Program and Legal Voice. The article describes the threats, Washington State’s response and the additional work needed to ensure similar protections for immigrants and transgender people.
