  • 2024-31239 — Coverage of Certain Preventive Services Under the Affordable Care Act
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 106393
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Departments of Treasury, Labor, and Health and Human Services have decided to withdraw a proposed rule related to coverage for certain preventive services, including contraceptive services under the Affordable Care Act. This proposed rule aimed to address issues concerning religious objections to contraceptive coverage. They received over 44,000 comments and decided that they need more time to consider these inputs and focus on other priorities before proceeding with any new regulations. The withdrawal does not stop the possibility of proposing similar rules in the future.

    Simple Explanation

    The government was planning to make a new rule about which health services, like certain medicines, should be covered by insurance, but they decided to pause and think more because lots of people shared their opinions. They might come back to this idea later after thinking it through some more.

  • 2025-00774 — Enhancing Coverage of Preventive Services Under the Affordable Care Act
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 3728
    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    The Department of the Treasury, Department of Labor, and Department of Health and Human Services have decided to withdraw their proposed rules concerning the coverage of preventive services under the Affordable Care Act. Initially published on October 28, 2024, these rules aimed to ensure coverage for recommended preventive services without cost-sharing, focusing significantly on contraceptive items for women. The withdrawal comes as the departments plan to prioritize other issues, although they may revisit preventive services in the future. The agencies emphasize that withdrawing these rules does not prevent them from making new proposals similar to the withdrawn ones.

    Simple Explanation

    The government decided not to change some rules about health care that would have made certain services like doctor check-ups and some health items for women free. They want to think about other things for now but might come back to this later.
