Abortion, insulin prices and period products: Here are the Missouri health bills to watch in 2025

The article from MSN discusses several key health-related bills that Missouri lawmakers are expected to address in the 2025 legislative session. These include a bill aimed at reducing insulin prices by capping out-of-pocket costs for a 30-day supply at $35, which has already passed the House but faces opposition in the Senate. Another significant issue is the potential legalization of over-the-counter birth control, with a bill proposing to allow pharmacists to prescribe contraceptives. Additionally, there's a focus on abortion-related legislation, with efforts to further restrict access, including a bill that would criminalize out-of-state travel for abortions. Other bills include measures to provide free menstrual products in public schools, expand postpartum Medicaid coverage, and address the state's maternal mortality rates. These bills reflect a broad spectrum of health policy issues, from reproductive rights to healthcare affordability and access.
