Exemptions to Contraceptive Coverage: Interplay of State and Federal
Law
A new Kaiser Family
Foundation issue brief provides an update on the status of the
continuing litigation on the ACA contraceptive coverage provision, outlines
the interplay between federal and state law, and explains the implications
for employers and women.
In October 2017, the
Trump Administration issued new regulations that greatly expanded the number
of employers eligible for an exemption to the ACA contraceptive coverage rule
based on religious or moral objections. Eight states are challenging the new
regulations, and two federal courts have blocked the implementation of the
regulations pending the outcome of the litigation. Some state contraceptive
coverage laws include narrower exemptions than the new federal regulations.
If the new federal regulations are ultimately implemented, for many women,
the scope of their contraceptive coverage will again depend on where they
work and their state laws.
Filling
the need for trusted information on national health issues, the
Kaiser Family Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco,
California.
