Bill Summary
A bill to prohibit taxpayer funded abortions.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2025," seeks to comprehensively prohibit federal funding for abortions across multiple areas of government. The bill establishes that no federal funds or funds in federal trust accounts can be used to pay for abortions, except in specific circumstances such as pregnancies resulting from rape or incest, or when a woman's life is in danger. The legislation extends this prohibition to federal healthcare facilities and employees, preventing them from performing abortions. While the bill restricts federal funding, it allows individuals, states, and localities to purchase separate abortion coverage using only non-federal funds, ensuring that such coverage does not use matching funds from federally subsidized programs. The bill also modifies the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to disallow premium credits and cost-sharing reductions for health plans that cover abortions, with exceptions for medically necessary procedures. Additionally, it requires health insurance providers to prominently disclose the extent of abortion coverage in marketing materials and separately identify any abortion-related premium surcharges, ensuring transparency for consumers. The provisions will generally take effect for plan years beginning after December 31, 2025, and aim to significantly limit federal support for abortion services while maintaining some narrow exceptions.
