30-day wait before tubal sterilization is unjust, say experts

Current U.S. health policy requires Medicaid beneficiaries to wait 30 days before tubal sterilization. Ob/gyn experts argue that this violates health care justice as elective tubal sterilization is readily available to women with a private source of payment. They urge obstetricians to advocate for change to eliminate health care injustice in women’s access to elective tubal sterilization.
