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.
