Speak Up: Bill to require Medicaid coverage for abortion services passes Delaware House

After about 30 minutes of debate May 23, a bill to require private health insurance plans, the state and Medicaid to cover abortion-related services was passed in the House of Representatives. Led by House Majority Leader Melissa Minor-Brown, D-New Castle, House Substitute 2 for House Bill 110 would require Medicaid and other plans to cover up to $750 for abortion-related care, while eliminating cost-sharing requirements, such as copayments and deductibles.
