We should be supporting our service members and military families who sacrifice so much for us – not restricting health care access and undermining our military readiness, retention, and recruitment. That’s why I voted against this year’s NDAA.

Another day, another episode of Veep

But we won’t give up this fight. We will continue working to expand all reproductive care options for our military families who’ve sacrificed so much for us and who’ve earned the right to build their families.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 10(source)

That’s why we fought so hard for TRICARE coverage of IVF and other assisted reproductive technology for our service members and their spouses. This would have been life-changing for so many people – and would have gone a long way to address recruitment and retention challenges.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 10(source)

Next year, Members of Congress and federal staff will get IVF coverage as part of their health care – denying that same standard to our service members is beyond hypocritical and proves that we’re not operating by the same rules as everyone else.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 10(source)

Our military families have sacrificed so much for us already. They shouldn’t have to choose between serving their country and having a family – or be saddled with the high costs of IVF.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 10(source)

Paying for IVF out-of-pocket can cost tens of thousands of dollars per cycle. Many military families already struggle to afford child care, safe housing, and food on the table – they simply can’t afford IVF on their own.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 10(source)

Our service members often spend their prime reproductive years in dangerous, hazardous conditions or physically separated from their partner. So it’s unsurprising that ⅔ of service members report family-building challenges because of their military service.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 10(source)

For months, I've fought hard alongside @SenDuckworth for IVF coverage for service members in the NDAA. Against all odds, we passed our bipartisan amendments in the House and Senate. So I’m very disappointed that Speaker Johnson removed it from the final version of the NDAA.

A trans military ban would cost $18 billion to recruit, train, and replace the thousands of fully trained and qualified trans personnel in our ranks. We shouldn’t throw this money (and our values) down the drain.

Another trans military ban would cost the United States billions of dollars - LGBTQ Nation

And that could be the least of the problems caused.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govDec 8(source)

Families across the country are paying more for child care than rent, mortgages, or college tuition... it's ridiculous. We need to build a universal child care system so families aren't spending most of their paychecks on this one expense.

Child care in the U.S. today can cost more than families pay for rent, a mortgage or college tuition

In some parts of the U.S., parents pay more than $30,000 annually for infant care at a center, federal data shows.

This is a good step – but we need to establish more guardrails for predatory and unregulated data brokers. The Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act would put checks on all data brokers and help keep our data safe and private.

Health care decisions should be between a doctor and their patient – not the government. I urge the Supreme Court to protect trans rights in US v. Skrmetti.

Supreme Court to hear historic argument on transgender rights

The justices are considering whether a Tennessee law banning gender-affirming care for minors violates the Constitution’s equal protection clause.

Thank you CFPB! Data brokers routinely collect, track, or sell our personal data to shady characters, police, and governments around the world. This much-needed rule would help protect our privacy and national security.

A new proposal by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau would use a 54-year-old privacy law to impose new oversight of the data broker industry. But first, the agency must survive Elon Musk.

We need creativity and new ideas to address all the problems our country is facing. That’s why I was glad to join a workshop with the All Girls STEM Society and chat with some students who are getting involved and advocating for the issues they care about.
