Biden withdraws birth control expansionThe Biden administration is withdrawing a set of proposed rules aimed at expanding access to contraception that would have made it more difficult for employer-sponsored health plans and insurers to exclude coverage of birth control.

The move, announced late Monday in a Federal Register notice, will leave in place Trump-era rules allowing employers to cite “non-religious moral objections” to the Affordable Care Act’s requirement to cover contraception.

At the time the rules were proposed last year, the HHS said it wanted to balance access to contraceptives with the religious objections certain employers may have to providing the benefit.

The law requires all health insurance offered by the vast majority of employers to cover at least one of 18 forms of birth control approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

But the Trump administration in 2018 greatly expanded the so-called conscience protections of employers, so that any entity with a religious or moral objection to contraception did not have to cover it in its employer-sponsored health insurance plans.
