Bill overview
The Affordability is Access Act of 2023 aims to expand access to birth control by requiring group health plans and individual health insurance coverage to cover over-the-counter contraceptives approved by the FDA. The bill seeks to facilitate the FDA’s review and approval of these medications for over-the-counter sale and ensure that once approved, they are covered without cost-sharing. It also directs federal agencies to clarify existing coverage requirements and establishes rules to protect access to these medications.
