Dear John,

Did you know that in addition to supporting Texas teens, Healthy Futures of Texas leads the Texas Women’s Healthcare Coalition? This vital collaborative, which covers topics from birth control to rural healthcare access, is composed of over 80 healthcare, community and faith-based leaders. We are dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of Texas women, babies, and families by advocating for access to preventive healthcare for all Texas women.

In the legislative session that just wrapped up, we advocated for and achieved notable wins including:

• Requiring insurance companies to allow patients to obtain up to a 12-month supply of birth control in one pharmacy visit – the first beneficial bill addressing contraception to be signed into law in recent memory. 

• A historic $112 million increase for the state's women's health health programs, including mobile contraception units to reach underserved areas of the state.

• Working with a broad coalition of advocates to support extending postpartum Medicaid coverage from 60 days to 12 months.
