EACH Act of 2025
This bill would make abortion care covered and affordable no matter your income or insurance. It requires federal health programs and plans to cover abortion services, and it directs federal hospitals and clinics (and those they contract with) to provide access for eligible patients. It also stops the federal government from blocking abortion coverage in state, local, or private insurance plans. It removes limits in the Affordable Care Act by repealing section 1303 and related parts, and says this bill overrides other federal laws and cannot be limited by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. It keeps in place any state or local laws that already offer stronger protections, and includes a standard “severability” back‑up if part of the law is struck down.
The bill explains why this change is needed: since the Dobbs ruling, many states have banned or sharply limited abortion, and federal funding limits have especially harmed people with low incomes, women of color, LGBTQ people, and young people who face extra barriers and costs to care.
