The Biden administration wants to make it easier for women to access birth control at no cost under the Affordable Care Act, reversing Trump-era rules that weakened the law’s contraceptive mandate for employer-provided health insurance plans.

The proposed rule, unveiled Monday by the departments of Health and Human Services, Labor and Treasury, would remove an exemption to the mandate that allows employers to opt out for moral convictions. It would also create an independent pathway for individuals enrolled in plans offered by employers with religious exemptions to access contraceptive services through a willing provider without charge.

Exemptions and accommodations have been available for such employers. The Trump administration, however, weakened the mandate. Under the rules issued in 2018, entities that have “sincerely held religious beliefs” against providing contraceptives are not required to do so. That provision also extends to organizations and small businesses that have objections “on the basis of moral conviction which is not based in any particular religious belief.

When a Liberal wants stuff other people work for

Are federal employees part of affordable care act health system? If not why?

“At no cost” simply means that they want YOU to pay for it.

If men don't agree with this - get a damn vasectomy or abstain from sex!

'Wants to make' does not equal 'is making'. Aren't you supposed to be reporting facts and not intentions?

Now teach them personal responsibility, self respect and abortions should be at 0%.

Easy access to contraception should be a rare point of agreement by normally diametrically opposed pro- and anti-abortion folks. Prevent unwanted pregnancy before not after.

Then the next president will want something else, it just never ends. They act like children. (pardon the pun). 🙄

there are far too many children born to parents who either can't or won't nurture and provide for them

Always had free BC. Interesting

Obamacare destroyed the medical profession and turned it into part of the corrupt federal bureaucracy.

Perfect the less democrats the better , I’m all for really late liberal abortions too!

No the Trump administration just made it to where the government couldn’t mandate religious organizations to go against the Bible and their beliefs. Quit lying CNN

Maybe we should be teaching women not to be whores
