EACH Act of 2025

S 2377, the EACH Act of 2025, requires all federal health programs - including Medicaid, Medicare, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and the Indian Health Service - to cover abortion services without restrictions based on income or insurance type. It repeals the Hyde Amendment (Section 1303 of the ACA), which previously barred federal funds from covering most abortions, and prohibits state or private insurance plans from restricting abortion coverage. This directly affects millions enrolled in federal health programs, particularly low-income individuals, women of color, and young people, who face barriers to abortion access under current laws. The bill mandates that all federally funded health programs provide comprehensive abortion coverage as a standard benefit.
