No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2025
United States119th CongressS-186Senate
Updated: Jan 22, 2025
Summary
This legislation establishes a comprehensive prohibition on the use of federal funds for abortions and for health benefits plans that include abortion coverage . It explicitly states that no funds authorized or appropriated by federal law may be expended for these purposes. However, the bill includes crucial exceptions, allowing federal funding for abortions in cases of rape, incest, or when a physician certifies the abortion is necessary to save the life of the mother. The restrictions extend to health care services provided by federal facilities or federal employees , prohibiting them from offering abortion services. While federal funds are restricted, individuals, entities, or states may purchase separate abortion coverage or health benefits plans using only non-federal funds , explicitly excluding federal matching funds for subsidized programs. The bill also applies these prohibitions to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), disallowing premium tax credits and small employer health insurance expense credits for qualified health plans that cover abortions, except for the specified exceptions. This ensures federal subsidies under the ACA cannot be used for such plans, though separate, unsubsidized abortion coverage remains an option for individuals and employers. Finally, the legislation mandates enhanced transparency for health plans, requiring prominent disclosure of any abortion coverage in marketing materials and at enrollment. Any specific premium surcharge attributable to abortion services must also be separately identified and displayed.
