Pennsylvania HB917 repeals provisions requiring compliance with federal health care legislation, including abortion coverage in health plans.
Pennsylvania HB917 repeals Chapter 33 of Title 40 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, which previously required compliance with federal health care legislation. This includes provisions that mandated abortion coverage in qualified health plans offered through the state's health insurance exchange. The bill allows for the exclusion of abortion coverage in these plans but prohibits the exclusion of coverage for postabortion complications. Individuals may still purchase supplemental abortion coverage outside the exchange by paying a separate premium.
