The Menopause Therapy Bill
Georgia bill would cover menopause therapy for state workers
State employees; require health benefit plan to cover hormone replacement therapy for biological women experiencing perimenopause and menopause when such therapy is ordered or prescribed
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the state would pay for hormone therapy for its female employees who are going through menopause, as long as a doctor prescribes it.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Women who work for the state could finally get needed treatment without paying out of pocket, but the cost will be borne by taxpayers.
