Bill > S2377

This bill,, known as the EACH Act of 2025 (Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance Act), aims to ensure comprehensive abortion coverage across various federal health programs and insurance plans, regardless of an individual's income, race, immigration status, or other characteristics. The legislation would require all federal health programs—including Medicaid, Medicare, Children's Health Insurance Program, Indian Health Service, TRICARE, Veterans' health benefits, and others—to provide abortion services and related care without restrictions. The bill explicitly seeks to address historical barriers that have disproportionately impacted low-income individuals, women of color, LGBTQ+ people, and young people in accessing reproductive healthcare. Notably, the bill repeals existing restrictions on abortion coverage in the Affordable Care Act, prohibits federal restrictions on private insurance abortion coverage, and establishes that these provisions supersede other federal laws, including the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The legislation is contextualized by findings highlighting the significant impact of abortion restrictions since the Dobvbs Supreme Court decision, which eliminated constitutional protections for abortion access, and argues that these coverage mandates are authorized under Congress's constitutional powers related to commerce, taxation, and general welfare. The bill's ultimate goal is to promote equitable access to abortion services and reduce systemic barriers that prevent individuals from making autonomous reproductive healthcare.choices.
