Biden Administration Proposes Expanded Access to Free Over-the-Counter Contraception

The Biden administration is set to propose significant changes to contraception access, aiming to ensure that all health insurance plans cover over-the-counter birth control options, including condoms, at no cost. This initiative seeks to broaden contraceptive access for millions of women and is positioned as a key policy ahead of the upcoming election. The White House emphasizes the importance of health insurance providers fully covering all types of contraceptive methods to enhance reproductive health and reduce financial barriers for individuals seeking birth control products. As part of this push, Biden plans to officially recommend that private insurers cover these products without requiring prescriptions.
