Over-the-Counter Contraceptives: Insurance Coverage Mandated

This act aims to improve access to contraception by requiring health insurers to cover the cost of over-the-counter birth control. This means citizens will not have to pay extra for these products, potentially reducing their healthcare expenses and increasing their choice of contraceptive methods.
Key points
Health insurance plans must cover over-the-counter contraceptives without additional costs.
Retailers stocking over-the-counter contraception cannot interfere with its purchase or access to information.
The act seeks to expand access to contraception, especially for low-income individuals and those in underserved areas.
