Menopause is a significant stage in a woman’s life, yet it’s an issue that’s shrouded in myths and misinformation.
As the Chair of the Select Committee on Reproductive Health, Assemblymember Bauer-Kahan is pushing the state forward by advocating for meaningful workplace reform, comprehensive insurance coverage for treatments, and increased research funding, ensuring that women have access to reliable care. In 2024, Assemblymember Bauer-Kahan introduced AB 2467, which mandates coverage for a diverse range of menopause treatments, including hormone replacement therapy, prescription medications, and alternative therapies. By addressing the financial barriers to care, this bill aims to support women across California through this significant life transition.
