Let’s finally eliminate the pink tax | Opinion
A 2019 study published in the journalfound that 64% of low-income women surveyed struggled to buy period products during the previous year, and 21% reported having this problem monthly.
Last summer, Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar came out in favor of pink tax repeal, stating that “Texas can absorb this lost revenue easily, but for countless Texas women, this will mean significant savings in their personal budgets over time. This is a small amount of money relative to the overall revenue outlook for Texas.”
This session, lawmakers also have an option in the form of Senate Bill 379, a bill sponsored by State Sen. Joan Huffman, the Senate Finance Committee chair. This proposed legislation eliminates taxes for tampons, sanitary pads, menstrual cups and similar products. It carries the endorsement of the governor, the lieutenant governor, and every female senator.
A fundamental principle at Texas Women’s Foundation is the ripple effect — the belief that investing in women’s economic security equals a win for everyone, because women re-invest personal budget increases into their families and communities.

The app provides you the cost of the visit up front, so you know what you're getting into if you don't have health insurance. The video doctors can pretty much do what they'd do when they see you, after that long time in the waiting room at a real office. They also can learn your vitals through the phone's health kit. The app also works with mental health professionals, if you need that. There are psychiatrists and psychologists on the roster. Doctors can write prescriptions and send them to the pharmacy near where you are. Doctor on Demand is a free app on iTunes and Android. You pay for the medical services. Image: robert6666/GettyImages
