Halle Berry is putting her star power behind a major push in California… imploring lawmakers and the governor to step up on women’s health.We caught Halle outside CBS Studios in New York City on Thursday and asked her about new legislation proposed in California that would require health plans to cover menopause-related treatments.Halle is pushing California Governor Gavin Newsom to pass the bill… telling him women of a certain age who undergo biological transition deserve the same level of care as all other women, calling menopausal health a matter of basic human rights.
The actress has been vocal about menopause awareness for years and is now using her respin health platform to try to get legislation across the finish line. On Wednesday, her company—which sells menopause-related products and offers telemedicine—teamed up with Pelelel Health to launch a campaign urging Newsom to sign AB 432.The bill, sponsored by Bay Area Democrat Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, would require health plans to cover menopause-related treatments and encourage doctors to obtain additional menopause training. A similar measure was vetoed by Newsom last year, but the reworked version is expected to pass the Legislature in the final weeks of the session.We also tried to get Halle to give some advice to young women dealing with a breakup… but it seems like she’s not sweating the small stuff… she’s busy fighting for something much bigger.
