Actress Halle Berry has successfully lobbied lawmakers to allocate $275 million towards a groundbreaking menopause bill. The bill aims to provide better guidance and support for women going through menopause. Recent studies suggest that hormone replacement therapy may offer significant benefits for women in early menopause. However, there are differing opinions within the medical community regarding the medicalization of menopause and the appropriate use of hormone therapy. Lawmakers, led by Senator Patty Murray, have introduced bipartisan legislation to enhance clinician training, research, and public education on menopause care.

Recent data confirmed what experts have long known: HRT is a safe short-term option for many women. It's a step, but still a long way to go to improve the state of menopause care. Women in midlife & beyond deserve better. My latest @opinion (free link): https://t.co/DcV1saFjCo

If your doctor declines to prescribe hormone replacement therapy for #menopause -related hot flashes because of "No compelling indication for HRT" I'm wondering how "compelling" do hot flashes need be? #womenshealth @halleberry

A landmark women’s health study scared women and doctors away from menopause hormone treatments. Now, a long-term follow-up of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) shows that the reaction was largely overblown. https://t.co/HnUBbXlyfK
Menopause is a naturally occurring phase of life but too many go into it with little or no guidance. I'm proud to stand with allies like @HalleBerry, @PattyMurray & @RepYvetteClarke as we ignite our #MenopauseMovement. Read about it here: https://t.co/7QXDcFPCM9 https://t.co/XhcGyqOQhc
