This is the first time we have had this experience and it was all positive…not only did we receive valuable feedback regarding our employee benefits being offered, but also gained some insight to issues that were unexpected and we frankly wouldn’t have thought to ask about.

Wade), was intended to protect the ability of individuals to receive reproductive health care when the care is provided lawfully under the circumstances without risk of an individual’s identity or health information being disclosed for purposes of state criminal, civil or administrative investigations (or for imposing liability related to lawfully providing or obtaining reproductive healthcare).
