The EACH Act of 2025 would require all federally funded health programs to cover abortion services, eliminating current bans on federal funding for abortion care. The bill applies to Medicaid, Medicare, the Children's Health Insurance Program, the Indian Health Service, TRICARE, Veterans Affairs, and other government-sponsored health programs, ensuring that no person is denied abortion coverage based on income or type of insurance. The legislation also repeals restrictions that currently prevent abortion coverage in marketplace plans and private insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act, and it prohibits the federal government from restricting abortion coverage by state, local, or private health insurers. The bill's supporters argue these changes would address disparities in abortion access, particularly for low-income individuals, women of color, and LGBTQ people who disproportionately rely on federally funded insurance. The act contains no specific funding amounts or implementation timelines, instead directing that coverage begin upon enactment and supersede all conflicting federal law.
