The Kaiser Family Foundation hosted an interactive webinar for journalists through its Media Fellowships Program: “Women’s Health Under the Affordable Care Act,” which took place on Thursday, February 6 from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. ET.

Now that the ACA’s coverage expansions are in effect, the Foundation’s latest webinar looked at how the law affects women’s access to health coverage and care. The Kaiser Family Foundation’s Alina Salganicoff, Vice President and Director of Women’s Health Policy, and Laurie Sobel, Senior Policy Analyst, gave a brief presentation on how the ACA expanded access to coverage and preventive care for women, and how these elements of the law are being implemented. The webinar also reviewed current legal issues related to the contraceptive coverage requirement, as well as state and federal policies affecting insurance coverage of abortion.

Resources for the webinar include Foundation briefs, “Health Reform: Implications for Women’s Access to Coverage and Care,” “Coverage for Abortion Services and the ACA” and “A Guide to the Supreme Court’s Review of the Contraceptive Coverage Requirement.”
