Senator Angela Alsobrooks discusses the Uterine Fibroid Intervention and Gynecological Health Treatment Act, which aims to expand early screening for fibroids, particularly affecting African American women disproportionately.
The bill, co-sponsored by Congresswoman Chantelle Brown, will allocate grant dollars for research and public awareness campaigns.
Alsobrooks criticizes the "big, ugly bill" for significant cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and education, impacting 40% of children and 1.3 million Marylanders on Medicaid and highlights the importance of due process for immigrants and the need for everyday people to speak up against the administration's policies.
