Earlier in the year, when the affiliate rule was first implemented, the state expected that the planned expansion of Medicaid to non-elderly adults with incomes under 133% of poverty under the Affordable Care Act in 2014 would ensure that most of the low-income WHP clients would become eligible for Medicaid and that additional support might only be needed for those women with incomes between 138% and 185% of poverty. However, the Supreme Court’s subsequent decision to make the Medicaid expansion optional and Governor Perry’s declaration that Texas would not undertake the Medicaid expansion has thrown that option into doubt | Hormone Disruptors and Women s Health Reasons for Concern A woman s body changes throughout her lifetime. Each stage of life from fetal development to post-menopause involves a direct relationship between her hormones and how her body develops and functions. When this relationship is in balance it helps create the conditions for good health. When this relationship is out of balance it can lead to a range of health problems that can be painful and devastating. Increasingly the scientific evidence shows that some industrial chemicals known as hormone disruptors can j throw off this balance. As a result women can be at greater risk for experiencing health problems such as infertility and breast cancer. The Problem Over the last 70 years more than 80 000 chemicals have been released into the environment through human activity. Because of inadequate health and safety laws more than 85 of these chemicals have never been assessed for possible effects on human health. Although many of them may not cause harm a significant number of those that have been tested are now believed to increase our risk for serious health problems. Hormone disruptors are one category of these chemicals that scientists are concerned about. Although many different chemicals can increase a woman s risk for health problems hormone disruptors are of particular concern because they can alter the critical hormonal balances required for proper health and development at all stages of a woman s life. This brochure summarizes some of the latest peer reviewed science about the risks hormone disruptors pose to women and their reproductive health.
