New rules proposed by the Biden administration would require health insurers to cover certain over-the-counter contraceptives without a prescription at no cost to patients.

The proposed regulations would require coverage of nonprescription birth control pills—recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—as well as condoms, emergency contraceptives, and spermicides under the Affordable Care Act.
