"Back in my great state of California, my very own governor, Gavin Newsom, has vetoed our menopause bill, not one, but two years in a row, Berry told the crowd. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever, and the way he has overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us, he probably should not be our next president either. Just saying."
"The bill Berry referenced is AB 432, and it was vetoed for a second time in October. The bill was introduced by Assemblywoman Rebecca Bauer-Kahan. A spokesperson for Newsom responded to Berry's comments, explaining the specific bill has been rejected because it would increase healthcare costs. He vetoed the bill because, as written, it would have unintentionally raised health care costs for millions of working women already stretched thin something he's determined to avoid, Newsom spokesperson Izzy Gardon said."
Halle Berry spoke at the New York Times DealBook summit to urge expanded healthcare coverage and training for menopause care. She highlighted AB 432, a bill to mandate certain menopause services in plans and expand professional training, and said it was vetoed twice in California by Governor Gavin Newsom. Berry criticized Newsom for overlooking and devaluing midlife women and suggested he should not be the next president. A Newsom spokesperson said the bill was rejected because it would raise health care costs for millions of working women and expressed confidence they can work to pass it in the future.
