No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2025
Summary
HB7, titled the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2025, would bar the use of federal funds for abortions and for health plans that include abortion coverage, subject to exceptions for abortions resulting from rape or incest and abortions necessary to save the life of the mother. It also prohibits abortions from being provided in federal facilities or by federal employees acting within the scope of their employment. The bill expressly allows separate abortion coverage or plans to be purchased or offered, but only with non-federal funds and not with federal matching funds or other subsidized dollars.
The bill also amends the Affordable Care Act and related tax provisions to deny certain federal premium tax credits, cost-sharing reductions, and small-employer health insurance credits for plans that include abortion coverage, while preserving the ability to buy separate abortion coverage outside those federally subsidized arrangements. In addition, it revises ACA notice requirements so that abortion coverage and any abortion-related premium surcharge must be clearly disclosed to enrollees and in marketing materials. The bill applies these changes to future plan years and, for some provisions, to materials distributed after enactment or after the end of 2025.
Impact
HB7 would add a new chapter to title 1 of the U.S. Code establishing a general federal funding prohibition for abortions and abortion-inclusive health coverage, and it would also amend the Internal Revenue Code and the Affordable Care Act to align tax credits, subsidies, and exchange rules with that prohibition. It would affect federal agencies, federal facilities, federal employees, ACA exchanges, insurers offering qualified health plans, employers seeking small-business health credits, and state or local governments that use federal matching funds, including Medicaid-related funds, for abortion coverage. The bill also explicitly applies its federal-funding rules to the District of Columbia.
Sentiment
The bill appears to have strong support among its Republican House sponsors and is framed as a pro-life measure intended to prevent taxpayer support for abortion. No committee transcript or vote data were provided, so there is no recorded opposition or bipartisan debate in the supplied materials. Based on the text and sponsorship, the overall sentiment is clearly favorable among supporters of abortion funding restrictions.
Contention
The main point of contention is the scope of the federal funding ban and its interaction with health insurance coverage under the ACA. Supporters are likely to view the bill as preventing indirect subsidization of abortion through tax credits, exchange plans, and federal health programs, while opponents would likely argue that it restricts abortion access by limiting insurance coverage and imposing disclosure and subsidy barriers. Additional tension may arise over the exceptions for rape, incest, and life endangerment, as well as the treatment of state and local use of non-federal funds and Medicaid matching funds for separate abortion coverage.
No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2023 This bill modifies provisions relating to federal funding for, and health insurance coverage of, abortions. Specifically, the bill prohibits the use of federal funds for abortions or for health coverage that includes abortions. Such restrictions extend to the use of funds in the budget of the District of Columbia. Additionally, abortions may not be provided in a federal health care facility or by a federal employee. Historically, language has been included in annual appropriations bills for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that prohibits the use of federal funds for abortions—such language is commonly referred to as the Hyde Amendment. Similar language is also frequently included in appropriations bills for other federal agencies and the District of Columbia. The bill makes these restrictions permanent and extends the restrictions to all federal funds (rather than specific agencies). The bill's restrictions regarding the use of federal funds do not apply in cases of rape, incest, or where a physical disorder, injury, or illness endangers a woman's life unless an abortion is performed. The Hyde Amendment provides the same exceptions. The bill also prohibits qualified health plans from including coverage for abortions. Currently, qualified health plans may cover abortion, but the portion of the premium attributable to abortion coverage is not eligible for subsidies.
End Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Providers ActThis bill prohibits federal funding for entities, or their affiliates, that perform abortions, provide referrals for abortions, or provide funding to others that perform abortions. It provides exceptions for abortions (1) in the case of rape or incest, or (2) when a physician certifies there is a danger of death to the woman without an abortion. The bill’s prohibition applies to any federal statutory law adopted after the bill’s effective date, unless such law contains an explicit exemption.
