Show Notes
The Trump administration is investigating thirteen states, predominantly Democratic, for allegedly violating the Weldon Amendment. This federal law protects healthcare providers and insurers from discrimination if they refuse to cover abortions. The dispute centers on the interpretation of the amendment, with the current administration arguing it applies to employers and plan sponsors, potentially blocking opt-outs. The states in question are California, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington. The administration is seeking more details and may impose penalties, echoing actions from Trumps first term.
