Prohibiting Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Requiring Full Insurance Disclosure

This bill aims to prohibit the use of federal taxpayer funds for abortions and for health insurance plans that cover abortion. This means that tax money cannot be used to pay for abortion services, except in cases of rape, incest, or to save the mother's life. It also introduces new rules for disclosing abortion coverage in health plans.
Key points
Federal funds, including trust fund money, will not be spent on abortions.
Federally funded health benefit plans will not cover abortion, except for rape, incest, or to save the mother's life.
Individuals can purchase separate abortion coverage, but it will not be subsidized with federal funds.
Insurers must clearly disclose if a plan covers abortion and if there's a separate surcharge for it.
