More than a year after the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the Supreme Court, Sens. John Fetterman and Bob Casey, both D-Pa., and over a dozen other members of Congress introduced the Convenient Contraceptive Act. This legislation, if passed, would expand access to contraceptive drugs.

The act would provide people covered by private health insurance with a year’s supply of contraceptive products from the time their prescription is issued. In most states, it is standard to issue a three-month supply.

The act also would allow those covered by private health plans to pick up their full prescription supply (up to a year’s worth) in advance. Currently, under most private plans, patients must pick up parts of their supply multiple times over the course of the prescription.

“A woman’s right to make her own health care decisions is sacred to me,” said Fetterman in a news release. “I am proud to lead this first of its kind legislation to expand equitable access to contraceptives. I will continue fighting to expand contraceptive access and protect reproductive freedom.”

“If we want to support families, we need to protect access to reliable, affordable contraception,” said Casey. “This bill will live up to the promise of the Affordable Care Act by reducing the barriers many women, particularly low-income women, face when it comes to family planning and maternal health.”
