This week, my memorial about veterans reproductive health passed the Senate unanimously! I am excited to announce that this memorial will call on the federal government to include fertility treatment in VA healthcare. If veterans are wounded in combat, one would expect their healthcare to be covered when they return. However, under current law, veterans have to pay out of pocket for costly fertility treatments that are needed as a result of an injury received while deployed. This memorial demonstrates that the Idaho legislature cares about giving back the the veterans that have served our community. This memorial will urge Idaho’s Congressional Representatives to change the federal policy and protect our veterans.
