On Friday, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a new rule that will require insurers through the Affordable Care Act marketplacemore than 3 millionIf an insurance plan through the ACA marketplace includes abortion coverage, the insurer will be required to bill two premium payments: one for the health care policy and another for the policy’s abortion coverage. Here’s theAdvocates are worried that this could mean enrollees could have their coverage lapsed.
This rule won’t just require separate payments, it further splits off abortion from other reproductive health care and puts up massive barriers to access,” Ayers said in a statement., at least twice a year, 12 states and Washington, D.C., will be required to perform verifications on people enrolled to verify they’re eligible for ACA subsidies from an outside source.
The billing requirement will go into effect on June 27, 2020 while other parts of the rule will begin in 60 days.that the rule was to further the department’s duty as “good stewards of taxpayer dollars.” Azar continued, saying the rule continues the administration’s goal of “preventing” public money going toward abortion: “When an exchange plan covers abortions for which public funding is prohibited by federal law, this rule requires that customers receive separate bills for that abortion coverage and for the rest of their insurance.
Did you know that only FEMALES require abortions?! It seems like you can see sex sometimes. Males don't need abortions. This is male body privilege. Males can't become females. Our bodies are not identities. Our oppression is not an identity!
Under china’s now defunct 1 child policy, the govt mandated abortions and sterilization. Under the US’s govt policy, it’s making women jump thru hoops and pay extra for abortions. Both policies degrade a woman’s autonomy over her own body.
That’s good. Nice to see the law being improved on.
