Trump rolls back Obama-era birth control mandate

  • 7 years ago
The Trump administration issued a new rule Friday that allows all employers to opt out of including birth control in their health insurance plans for any moral or religious reason. The Obama-era requirement made contraception a near mandatory part of women’s preventive health care requiring that it be covered under most insurance plans. Health and Human Services says that "these rules will not affect over 99.9 percent of the 165 million women in the United States."
