What does this do?
This bill would require states to track how federal Medicaid money is spent at abortion providers and make that information public. Each year, states must file a report listing payment amounts, purposes, year-over-year comparisons, and details about each abortion including gestational age and method used. The federal government would then combine all state reports into one summary report for Congress and post it online.
Who does it affect?
Any state that sends federal Medicaid payments to abortion providers — or to healthcare organizations connected to them — would be required to comply. The Department of Health and Human Services and two congressional committees would receive the reports.
Why does it matter?
States and the federal government would take on new reporting and publishing responsibilities each . Information about how federal Medicaid funds move through the healthcare system would become available to the public and to Congress.
