~ In response to recent actions by the Trump Administration, Councilor Mejia has introduced a resolution in support of Bill SD.2808: An Act Strengthening Health Care Protections in the Commonwealth. The proposed legislation aims to expand privacy protections for individuals receiving medical care in Massachusetts.

Councilor Mejia emphasized the importance of Massachusetts taking a proactive stance to protect patients and providers, particularly in light of the Trump Administration's efforts to limit access to reproductive and gender-affirming care. The bill, if passed, would shield personal information such as names, addresses, and contact details from public records and prohibit the monitoring of prescriptions.

Additionally, SD.2808 seeks to limit cooperation by Massachusetts agencies or individuals with out-of-state investigations or legal actions related to care that is legal in the Commonwealth. These measures are intended to ensure that Massachusetts remains a safe and supportive place for those seeking reproductive or gender-affirming care, including patients traveling from states with more restrictive laws.

The resolution was unanimously adopted by the Council, reaffirming their commitment to health care access, privacy, and equity. Councilor Mejia's efforts highlight the importance of protecting patients' rights and ensuring their access to necessary medical care.
