File companion legislation in the House to S.323 – (SAFER) Health Act.

US Senators Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Mazie Hirono (D-HI) introduced the Secure Access for Essential Reproductive (SAFER) Health Act, which offers strengthened HIPAA protections that would prohibit providers from disclosing patient information relating to abortion or pregnancy loss without patient consent. The SAFER Health Act is the Senators’ response to the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, which took away the constitutional right to abortion in the US. In addition to reproductive health and access concerns, the Supreme Court’s decision sparked significant patient privacy concerns. “No one should have to worry about being investigated or prosecuted for receiving or providing reproductive health care,” Bennet stated. “This legislation will protect the privacy of patients who have had abortions, regardless of where they live or receive care.” If you get an abortion or experience pregnancy loss, you deserve to know that your medical records will remain private, unless you say otherwise. As my Representative, I urge you to file companion legislation in the House to S.323 – Secure Access for Essential Reproductive (SAFER) Health Act. House Representative. Protect our privacy and access to healthcare. Respect our existence or expect our resistance.
