What this bill would do
This bill is known as the Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance Act of 2025 or the EACH Act of 2025. It aims to ensure that every person has access to affordable abortion coverage and care regardless of their income or type of insurance. The bill requires federal health programs and plans to provide coverage for abortion services. It also stops the federal government from prohibiting or restricting abortion coverage by state or local governments or private health plans. Additionally, the legislation repeals section 1303 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which deals with the restriction of abortion coverage in health plans.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Section 4(a) requires federal health programs and plans to provide coverage for abortion services, which could benefit individuals enrolled in programs like Medicaid, Medicare, the Children's Health Insurance Program, and health benefits for veterans by helping them afford medical care.
-
Section 4(b) ensures that the federal government provides access to abortion services for individuals eligible for medical care in its own facilities or contracted facilities, which may help people who rely on federally provided healthcare.
-
Section 4(c) prohibits the federal government from restricting insurance coverage of abortion services by state or local governments or private health plans, which could allow for broader healthcare options under state and private insurance.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
- Section 8 states that this act supersedes all federal law and is not subject to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, which could place burdens on individuals or entities with religious objections to providing or funding abortion services.
