The Democrat-led Pennsylvania House passed a bill on June 25 requiring health insurers—including Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program—to pay for birth control medicine, devices, and emergency contraceptive drugs, also known as the morning-after pill, without a cost-sharing requirement.

House Bill 1140 next goes to the Pennsylvania Senate.
