“I include in the Record a letter from 20 medical organizations, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of Physicians, and the American Medical Women's Association, to name a few, expressing their support for H.R. 3755, the Women's Health Protection Act. June 14, 2021. Hon. Richard Blumenthal, U.S Senate, Washington, DC. Hon. Judy Chu, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Dear Senator Blumenthal and Representative Chu: On behalf of the undersigned medical organizations, representing physicians dedicated to advancing the health of our patients, thank you for introducing the Women's Health Protection Act (S. 1975/H.R. 3755). The purpose of your legislation--to protect the patient-physician relationship and preserve the ability of physicians to provide evidence-based care to their patients----is critically important. Federal, state, and local lawmakers have long played an important role in our health care system. The myriad policies aimed at addressing the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency provide a prime example of legislators acting to improve the health of their constituents.…”
