"We cannot let the status quo continue. At a time when statehouses across the country, and even the federal government, is making it harder for women to exist, New York must lead by championing common-sense policies that prioritize women's healthcare."
"Rosenthal said that she was committed to pushing the bills through to the legislative finish line for every woman who was ever fired, misdiagnosed, or simply ignored during menopause."
"Menopause care bills stalled in Albany. Hot flashes are perhaps the most common symptom associated with menopause, but the process causes other physical and mental health impacts for women, according to experts."
Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal is advocating for bills that support women experiencing menopause. Proposed legislation includes requiring insurance coverage for menopausal treatments, enhancing healthcare professional training, improving public information from the State Department of Health, and protecting women from workplace discrimination. Rosenthal emphasizes the need for these changes to combat the challenges women face during menopause. While some bills received positive responses in committee, most have stalled in the legislative process, with only one bill making progress regarding public information on menopause.
