Hilary Swank has filed a scathing lawsuit against those running the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan.

began undergoing procedures to preserve her ability to conceive children.

"Seizing upon Swank’s choice to keep her options open, the Trustees pointed to an exclusion in the Plan for 'infertility treatment,' relying on the notion that the only purpose of preserving the health of an ovary is to procreate," continues the." Despite Swank's, and her board-certified doctors', insistence that she was not seeking coverage for fertility treatment, but only for treatment for her ovarian cysts, the Trustees dug in their heels.

Through the action, Swank seeks coverage of ovarian cysts, which she says has caused her to suffer from extreme degrees of acid reflux, pelvic pain, cramping and fatigue. She's represented by attorney Kirk Pasich.

MichaelRapaport even hillary swank needs medicare for all. people should get care . when ever its bombs people give a blank check but if we want to help fellow citizens we get gaslit.

MichaelRapaport Benign ovarian cysts are painful as hell and require medical treatment. No idea why this is not covered, truly an outrage. 😠

MichaelRapaport Xylazine is not covered under current health plan.

MichaelRapaport Who gives a shit who gives a fuck

This is really messed up. I had benign ovarian cysts years ago that were causing me to spot for long periods of time. Once the cysts were gone, those issues disappeared

Yay for you, HilarySwank !

Ha. Let me guess the Board of Trustees is made up of mediocre white men who don’t even understand the female anatomy. Am I close?

Cuz Hilary Swank freaking remembers where she came from! Awesome!

The position of the trustees is absolutely ridiculous and hurts women. Good for Hilary Swank!

Good for Jason Momoa.

I hope she wins

THR: Briefs are scathing; lawsuits are not. Words matter.

Atta GIRL! PattyArquette Wolfiesmom

This would be a good time for all the celebs angry at SAG-AFTRA to come out in support of Medicare For All, which will protect ALL AMERICAN WORKERS from suddenly losing their health plans.

Well done!

GO, HILARY SWANK!!

I wonder if the same standard applies to men's testicular health issues or are the testicles just removed...

This is the same health plan that is cancelling the coverage of over 8000 members, including retired seniors, during the middle of a global pandemic.

These trustees need their asses handed to them. I am all in for Swank. Her lawsuit is a good one and it's a shame that it even needs to exist.

I bet the plan covers boner pills and all imaginable forms of dick and ball cancer.

Kevin was wrong.

On a complete other note She is the female version of Tom Brady

Ridiculous that women's health is not important when we are not making babies. Go Hilary!

OK !

Thanks, Hilary. You are a good one. SPNFamily

Good for her!

I'm glad. this is an extremely harmful policy position for those with PCOS and related conditions, which are already not understood by many doctors.
