AI Summary
This bill, the Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance Act of 2021 (EACH Act of 2021), aims to ensure affordable abortion coverage and care for everyone, regardless of their income level, source of insurance, or other factors. The bill requires all federal health programs and plans, such as Medicaid, Medicare, and the Indian Health Service, to provide coverage for abortion services. It also prohibits the federal government from restricting or inhibiting private insurance coverage of abortion services. The bill repeals a provision in the Affordable Care Act that allowed for restrictions on abortion coverage in private health plans, and it expresses the sense of Congress that the federal government should serve as a model for the nation in ensuring abortion coverage.
