"Back in my great state of California, my very own governor, Gavin Newsom, has vetoed our menopause bill, not one, but two years in a row, Berry told the crowd. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever, and the way he has overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us, he probably should not be our next president either. Just saying."
"A Newsom spokesman previously responded to Berry, claiming the bill she backs would raise healthcare costs, but the governor would like to pass it in 2026. He vetoed the bill because, as written, it would have unintentionally raised health care costs for millions of working women already stretched thin something he's determined to avoid, Newsom spokesman Izzy Gardon said. It's unclear if Berry's comments had any influence in pushing the bill forward."
Halle Berry criticized Governor Gavin Newsom at the New York Times DealBook summit for vetoing a California menopause bill, AB 432, two years running and suggested he should not be the next president. AB 432 would mandate certain menopause care and require extra training for professionals; it was vetoed in October. Newsom told reporters he has been in contact with Berry's manager, said 'we're reconciling,' and claimed he will include menopause measures in next year’s budget. A spokesman said the veto was due to concerns the bill would raise health care costs for millions of working women, and the governor hopes to pass it in 2026.
