Several representatives have been actively working on expanding access to reproductive healthcare for service members in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Rep. Sara Jacobs secured a provision to cover assisted reproductive technology like IVF for active duty service members and dependents. Rep. Jen Kiggans and Rep. Jill Tokuda supported amendments to end copays for contraception under TRICARE for servicewomen, emphasizing the importance of reproductive healthcare for military readiness. Rep. Slotkin highlighted bipartisan support for amendments to expand access to contraception for female service members in this year's NDAA.
In case you missed it: Two amendments – from @RepSherrill and @RepEscobar – to expand access to contraception for female service members were added to this year’s NDAA with bipartisan support. 1/4 https://t.co/YnDVRjIMF6
ICYMI: During the #NDAA Markup, I supported @RepEscobar's amdt to make contraceptives more available to our military women. Contraceptives help alleviate a number of conditions- having a uterus can hurt. Our women in uniform need access to this basic form of healthcare. https://t.co/CUjayGhMHe
Expanding access to contraception for women in uniform is important for military readiness. Yesterday I voted in favor of an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act which would end copays for contraception under TRICARE for our servicewomen. https://t.co/lts7YbHoio

Our service members shouldn’t have to choose between serving their country and having a family. That's why I'm so proud that I secured a provision in NDAA markup to expand TRICARE to cover assisted reproductive technology like IVF for active duty service members and dependents. https://t.co/pw1MtZANwy
