Biden Administration Proposes New Rule to Make Over-the-Counter Birth Control Free | KQED
Briefly

The Biden administration's proposal aims to expand access to contraceptives, ensuring that all recommended over-the-counter contraceptive products are covered by private health insurance without cost-sharing.
Becerra highlighted the gaps in health insurance coverage where specific brands of birth control are not covered, emphasizing that women should not have to pay out of pocket.
This rule reflects a commitment to ensure women can access necessary contraceptive services, building on the Affordable Care Act which guarantees coverage of preventive services.
Under the new proposal, health insurance will require coverage of over-the-counter contraceptives without prescriptions for women with private health insurance, enhancing reproductive health access.
