Bill Summary
An Act to create 632.8985 of the statutes; relating to: prohibiting coverage of abortions through health plans sold through exchanges.
AI Summary
This bill creates a new statute, 632.8985, to prohibit health plans sold through health insurance exchanges from covering abortions, with the exception of abortions that are eligible for funding under a specific state statute (s. 20.927). A "qualified health plan" is defined by federal law (42 USC 18021 (a)), and a "health benefit exchange" is also a term defined by federal law (42 USC 18031) which refers to marketplaces where individuals can purchase health insurance. The bill specifies that "abortion" will have the same definition as provided in another state statute (s. 253.10 (2) (a)).
