Ensuring Affordable Abortion Coverage and Care in All Federal Health Programs.

This bill aims to eliminate federal funding restrictions on abortion services, requiring government health programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and military insurance to cover these costs. This change would ensure that low-income individuals and those relying on federal insurance gain access to care previously restricted by cost barriers. The law also prevents the federal government from restricting private insurance coverage of abortion.
