Potential Impact of Proposed Regulations on Abortion Coverage in
Marketplace Plans
The day after the 2018 midterm elections, the
Trump Administration issued proposed regulations that would require
Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace plans to issue separate bills to
individuals who have abortion coverage as part of their benefit package — one
to cover the premiums for Essential Health Benefits, and another bill to
cover the costs of abortion coverage.
This latest issue brief from KFF analyzes the potential impact of
the regulations on women and abortion coverage across the country.
Also available is an updated fact sheet that provides a broader look at the ACA's
impact on women’s access to coverage through Medicaid expansion, private
insurance reforms, and premium tax credits. Since the law’s passage, the
uninsured rate among adult women has fallen from 19 percent in 2013 to 11
percent in 2017. The fact sheet also provides national and state level
estimates on the share of uninsured women who are eligible for but not
enrolled in Medicaid and ACA Marketplace plans as well as the share who are
in the Medicaid coverage gap.
Find the latest national and state-level coverage
data for non-elderly and women of reproductive age with our State Profiles on Women’s Health dashboard and on
KFF’s State Health Facts.
