Equal Access to Contraception for Veterans Act

What this bill does

  • The VA must provide contraceptive items to veterans at no cost, matching what health insurance plans cover.
  • This affects veterans who use the VA for healthcare and need contraception.
  • There is no specified federal cost; the VA absorbs expenses for previously cost-shared contraceptive items.
