Bill overview

The Affordability is Access Act aims to expand access to birth control by requiring private health insurance plans to cover over-the-counter contraceptives approved by the FDA, even without a prescription. It also prohibits retailers from interfering with an individual’s ability to access these contraceptives. The bill seeks to address existing barriers to birth control access, particularly for low-income individuals and those in ‘contraceptive deserts,’ and clarifies existing regulations to ensure broader coverage.
