2022 CT Senate race: on Homeland Security


Leora Levy: A powerful military reinforces the efficacy of diplomacy

President Ronald Reagan left us the blueprint for defeating evil powers: Peace through strength. A powerful military reinforces the efficacy of diplomacy, but when diplomacy fails to resolve a crisis, it is the military that must take the baton. It is past time for the Western democracies to provide the planes and armaments that Ukraine needs to defeat the Russian invaders.

Richard Blumenthal: End unfair copays charged to veterans for contraception

[On contraception coverage co-introduced with Sen. Susan Collins]: "This legislation will end unfair copays charged to veterans accessing essential contraception," said Senator Blumenthal. "Providing these important family planning services to veterans without out-of-pocket costs--a right already afforded to their active duty and civilian counterparts--is necessary to protect their health, wellbeing and reproductive freedoms. I'm proud to lead my Senate colleagues in introducing the Equal Access to Contraception for Veterans Act."

Senator Collins said, "Under current law, women can obtain contraception without a co-pay through private health insurance, but not through VA health care. Our bill would support women veterans--the fastest-growing segment of our veteran population--by closing this loophole and eliminating co-payments for contraception for those covered by VA health care."
