BREAKING: Democratic star Congressman Jamie Raskin continues his historic hot streak by taking bold action to ensure that Americans have access to free contraception.
This is a powerful strike against the MAGA war to force births on women...
In letters sent to the five largest health insurers and four largest pharmacy benefit managers, Raskin demanded to know how exactly these companies plan on making contraception more readily available for free.
Raskin isn't just whistling into the wind here. He was able to cite crucial federal guidelines aimed at improving such access. Issued in January, these guidelines ask insurers to cover FDA-approved contraceptives without therapeutic equivalents.
He wrote that obeying such guidance "is vital to ensuring that millions of women of reproductive age have increased access to no-cost contraceptionโsomething that is particularly important as Republicans continue to enact stringent bans on abortion across the country."
Aetna, Cigna, Elevance Health, Humana, United Healthcare, CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, Optum Rx, and Prime Therapeutics all received letters.
While Republicans are trying to distract voters with pointless culture war fights, Democrats like Raskin are doing the hard work of actually improving the lives of their constituents.
As always, vote blue!
