Tomorrow, the Ma House of Representatives will begin debating HB 4127 - An Act Improving the Quality of Health Care and Reducing Costs through Increased Transparency, Efficiency, and Innovation. Amendment 32 is vital to protecting access to reproductive health as we reform payment and delivery systems.

For many women, reproductive-health providers are access points to appropriate primary and specialty care. For this reason, access to reproductive-health services is necessary to improve women's overall health as we move into new ways of delivering care. I urge you to support amendment 32, which requires that these health-care entities include women's reproductive-health services.

Amendment #32: Filed by Rep. Martha "Marty" Walz, this amendment specifies that new health-care entities be requires to offer reproductive-health services as part of their primary-care services.

Let your opinion be known today.
