CWN Editor's Note: The Biden administration has dropped a plan to require employers to provide contraceptive coverage regardless of moral objections.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) had proposed to end an exemption from birth-control coverage for employees who had “non-religious moral objections”—an exemption to the provisions of the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) that had been put in place by the Trump administration.
In a tacit acknowledgment that a new Trump administration would certainly overturn the policy, HHS officials announced that they would “focus their time and resources on matters other than finalizing these rules.”
