HR 6755 United States House · 118th Congress

Supporting Healthy Pregnancy Act

HR 6755 (Supporting Healthy Pregnancy Act) requires states to establish child support obligations for biological fathers to pay at least 50% of a mother's reasonable out-of-pocket medical expenses related to pregnancy and delivery, upon her request. This applies to costs like copays, insurance deductibles, and other direct expenses incurred during pregnancy and birth. The bill explicitly excludes abortion-related expenses from this requirement, defining abortion as intentional pregnancy termination except for medical reasons like ectopic pregnancy or preserving life/health. States must implement this provision within one year of enactment, with possible extensions if state legislation needs updating.
