Rhode Island Senate passes bill to protect contraceptive coverage

Rhode Island Senate passed a bill to ensure contraception coverage by insurers if federal ACA requirements are overturned. The legislation mandates that health insurers continue offering no-cost contraceptives, including FDA-approved drugs and generic equivalents, along with related services, regardless of federal actions. The bill, sponsored by Senator Dawn Euer, now moves to the House for consideration, aiming to protect reproductive healthcare access at the state level.
