No Abortion Coverage for Medicaid Act

This bill, known as the "No Abortion Coverage for Medicaid Act," amends the Social Security Act to prohibit federal funding for abortion services through Medicaid and CHIP demonstration projects. It prevents the Secretary of Health and Human Services from approving or extending any project that provides federal financial assistance for abortion, including health benefits coverage or expenses for travel and lodging. The legislation aims to ensure that Medicaid and CHIP demonstration projects align with the Hyde Amendment's restrictions on federal funding for abortions. However, it includes specific exceptions for abortions in cases of rape or incest , or when medically necessary to save the life of the pregnant individual due to a life-endangering physical condition, as certified by a physician. Treatment for miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy is also explicitly excluded from these limitations.
